Outbreak Investigations and Response in Tanzania. This program 
addresses the ``Healthy People 2010'' focus area of Public Health 
Infrastructure.
    The purpose of the program is to strengthen the ability of the 
Ministry(s) of Health (MOH) to identify, investigate, analyze, respond 
to and report on disease outbreaks and other unusual health events. By 
doing so, the agreement will result in strengthening the applied public 
health programs through the World Health Organization (WHO) Country

B. Eligible Applicants

    Assistance will be provided only to the WHO Country Office in Dar 
es Salaam, Tanzania. No other applications are solicited.
    The WHO Country Office in Dar es Salaam is uniquely qualified as a 
partner since it serves as consultant to the MOH in implementing and 
administering Public Health programs in Tanzania. This office maintains 
the only polio surveillance and outbreak response systems for the MOH 
in the country.

    Note: Title two of the United States Code section 1611 states 
that an organization described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal 
Revenue Code that engages in lobbying activities is not eligible to 
receive Federal funds constituting an award, grant or loan.
