Cooperative Agreement With the Joint United Nations Programme on 
HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) Through the World Health Organization (WHO) as Bona 
Fide Agent; Notice of Intent To Fund Single Eligibility Award

A. Purpose

    The purpose of the program is to support the field-centered 
technical collaborations between the U.S. Government and the United 
Nations in support of national HIV/AIDS programs and strategies in 
priority countries. In particular, CDC Global AIDS Program and the 
Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) will serve as 
primary collaborators on behalf of their organizational counterparts 
and, through this program, facilitate the technical cooperation between 
the U.S. Government and the United Nations.
    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program 
is 93.067.

B. Eligible Applicant

    Applications may only be submitted by the Joint United Nations 
Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), through a Bona Fide agent, if 
necessary.
    A Bona Fide Agent is an agency/organization identified by the 
applicant as eligible to submit an application under the UNAIDS 
eligibility in lieu of an application submitted directly by UNAIDS. 
This is done specifically in recognition that WHO is the bona fide 
agent for HIV/AIDS as it relates to the receipt of external funds for 
program implementation. In applying as a bona fide agent of UNAIDS, WHO 
must provide a letter from UNAIDS as documentation of its status. Place 
this documentation behind the first page of your application form.

C. Funding

    Approximately $2,000,000 is available in FY 2005 to fund this 
award. It is expected that the award will begin on or before August 31, 
2005, and will be made for a 12-month budget period within a project 
period of up to four years. Funding estimates may change.
