The MBMI is the foundation of mind/ 

body medicine as practiced at the 

BIDMC, MBMI. It is based on the work 

of Herbert Benson, MD and colleagues at 

Harvard Medical School. Their 

pioneering research led to the definition 

of the relaxation response. The BIDMC, 

MBMI trains health care professionals 

from the U.S. and around the world in 

their highly successful clinical 

techniques. 

The mission of the BIDMC, MBMI, its 

long history of research in relaxation 

response, and the institution’s extensive 

network of resources make it highly 

probable that the BIDMC, MBMI will 

successfully achieve the activities 

identified in Section 1 of this RFA; 

therefore, it is the only eligible 

organization to conduct the research 

supported by this RFA.

[Request for Application (RFA) AA084]

Sector HIV/AIDS Strategic Information 

into the National Multi-Sectoral HIV/ 

AIDS Monitoring and Evaluation 

System of the United Republic of 

Tanzania as Part of the President’s 

Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief; 

Notice of Intent To Fund Limited 

Eligibility Award 

A. Purpose 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) announces the intent 

to award fiscal year (FY) 2005 funds for 

a cooperative agreement program to 

enhance integration of health-sector 

HIV/AIDS strategic information into the 

national multi-sectoral HIV/AIDS 

database linked to the Country Response 

Information System (CRIS) in the United 

Republic of Tanzania. 

The Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance number for this program is 

93.067. 

B. Eligible Applicant 

Assistance will only be provided to 

the Tanzania AIDS Commission 

(TACAIDS) and the Zanzibar AIDS 

Commission (ZAC). No other 

applications are solicited. 

TACAIDS and ZAC are currently the 

only appropriate and qualified 

organizations to conduct a specific set of 

activities to support the enhancement 

and integration of health sector HIV/ 

AIDS strategic information into the 

national multi-sectoral HIV/AIDS M&E 

system in the United Republic of 

Tanzania for the following reasons: 

1. TACAIDS and ZAC are uniquely 

positioned, in terms of legal authority, 

ability, and credibility among 

Tanzanian citizens, to coordinate the 

implementation of zonal initiatives for 

HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and 

care. 

2. TACAIDS and ZAC have developed 

national HIV/AIDS policies; a national 

multi-sectoral HIV/AIDS strategic 

framework, and strategic plans for 

enhancing national systems for 

collection of strategic information and 

M&E of HIV/AIDS in Tanzania, which 

allows TACAIDS and ZAC to 

immediately become engaged in the 

activities listed in this announcement. 

3. The purpose of the announcement 

is to build upon the existing framework 

of health policy and programming that 

TACAIDS and ZAC have initiated. 

4. TACAIDS and ZAC have a mandate 

under the Tanzanian Constitution to 

coordinate multi-sectoral activities 

necessary for the national response to 

HIV/AIDS. An Act of Parliament 

mandates TACAIDS and ZAC to 

monitor and evaluate multi-sectoral 

HIV/AIDS activities in the United 

Republic of Tanzania. 

C. Funding 

Approximately $500,000 is available 

in FY 2005 to fund this award to the two 

identified organizations. It is expected 

that the awards will begin on or before 

October 15, 2005, and will be made for 

a 12-month budget period within a 

project period of up to four years. 

Funding estimates may change.
