1. On May 12, 2006, Embassy delivered to Secretary Everton F.
Lucero, 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 "SSCOR in Pediatric Heart Development and Disease," (number 1
P50 HL 074734 03). The site covered in this project is under the
direction of Dr. Jose Eduardo Krieger, at the University of Sao
Paulo Heart Institute, Sao Paulo, 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.
