Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: Eligible applicants To meet the eligibility criteria for this program announcement, applicants must be indigenous to Haiti; must have documented experience in TB/HIV; must currently be providing extensive technical assistance to the MOH TB/HIV program; must have extensive experience in collecting samples and implementing Directly Observed Therapy Strategy (DOTS) in community settings in local languages; and must already be integrated into the national TB/HIV program. This cooperative agreement seeks to fund activities that will integrate TB and HIV diagnosis and treatment. This program depends upon the ability of the grantee to work with these two separate national programs and strive to integrate them. At the end of the first year of the project period, the grantee must be detecting HIV positive individuals and referring them for treatment at TB sites, and detecting individuals with active TB and referring them for treatment by the national TB program. The integration of these two programs will result in identifying more HIV and TB patients. Both target groups are at high risk for transmission, and heretofore the national prevention effort in Haiti is not addressing them in a consistent manner. To meet the goals of the Emergency Plan within the time allotted, any program applicant must be able to demonstrate it already has developed a working relationship and has experience with both the Haitian national TB program and the Haitian national program to control HIV/AIDS. These are two separate departments in the MOH, and will be a challenge to integrate because of a lack of support systems to treat TB/HIV in an integrated manner. Therefore, an organization must demonstrate it has at least three to five years of experience in working with both the Haitian national TB and HIV/AIDS control programs. Eligible applicants should also demonstrate capacity to coordinate their activities with HHS and other members of the United States Government.
