Additional Information on Eligibility: The Pasteur Institute of Cote d'Ivoire (IPCI) is uniquely qualified to fulfill the requirements set forth in this funding opportunity announcement. In 2006, the IPCI was designated the laboratory institution in charge of Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) in Cote d'Ivoire by the MOH and Ministry of Scientific Research. Under this mandate IPCI is responsible for the implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of population-based TB, malaria and epidemic disease surveillance, including HIV opportunistic infections, as well as prevention and care policies and interventions.
Grant Description: The overarching goal of this award is to build capacity within the national laboratory network to deliver quality laboratory diagnostics of HIV/AIDS related opportunistic infections, particularly TB. The Pasteur Institute Cote d'Ivoire will collaborate with various sub-departments and central laboratories of the Ministry of Health and the CDC-Retro-CI laboratory to improve coordination and implementation of laboratory activities with the National Public Health Laboratory (LNSP), TB laboratory network and at least 19 regional hospitals. This award will directly improve the quality and availability of laboratory testing nationwide, HIV/AIDS opportunistic infection surveillance, the quality of laboratory data, and strengthen infrastructure and human resource capacities. This award will also support the Pasteur Institute to strengthen its own capacity to participate as a reference laboratory in national and international public health evaluations.
