1. On March 27, 2006, Embassy delivered to Secretary Everton F.
Lucero, Deputy Chief of the Division of Science and Technology,
Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DCTEC/MFA),for review and approval,
the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) proposed award of a
research protocol titled "The Role of CD28-Cells in Human Chagas'
Disease," (number AI 066044-01A1). The site covered in this project
is under the direction of Dr. Walderez O. Dutra, at the Federal
University of Minas Gerais (UFMG),Brazil.


2. The Embassy sees no adverse foreign policy implications with
respect to this research project. We emphasize the importance of
complying with Brazilian laws on the export of data and biological
material.


3. We are providing this assessment of foreign policy implications
in advance of receiving approval from the Brazilian Government for
the proposed research to go forward, in order to assist NIH in
completing the domestic review process. Upon receipt of Brazilian
approval, the Embassy will notify NIH by cable.
