development for HIV/AIDS/STI/TB prevention and control efforts of the 
country.
    2. The AAU is mandated by the Ethiopian Government to provide 
training for all cadres of health care professionals and health social 
scientists who are deployed to all regions of the country.
    3. As the only National Central Medical Center with the only 
medical speciality/residency training in the country, the University 
and its colleges and faculties constitute the oldest and largest 
training institution, and the most experienced research facility in the 
country.
    4. The University is associated with the Ministry of Education, and 
works closely with the Ministry of Health and other sector ministries, 
as well as with a number of regional and international institutions, 
including U.S. universities.

C. Funding

    Approximately $200,000 is available in FY 2004 to fund this award. 
It is expected that the award will begin on or before September 1, 
2004, and will be made for a 12-month budget period within a project
