US embassy cable - 05ALMATY3706

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: KAZAKHSTAN: FOREIGN POLICY IMPLICATIONS OF PROPOSED 
RESEARCH PROJECT 
 
REF: STATE 173951 
 
1.  Reftel solicited the Embassy's comments on the foreign 
policy implications of NIH's proposed award of a research 
project entitled "Rapid Assessment of Drug Law and Policy in 
the FSU and CEE," which involves a Kazakhstani institution, 
the "Credo" organization in Karaganda.  The Embassy 
recommends that Department grant clearance to the project, 
pending human subject approval. 
 
2.  Although the Embassy interposes no objection to the 
project on foreign policy grounds, it is strongly 
recommended that the researchers establish contact with 
representatives of USAID and CDC in Kazakhstan.  Both of 
these organizations are actively involved in HIV/AIDS 
programs.  POC for AID is Almaz Sharman (tel: +7-3172-58-08- 
90, extension 271; email: asharman@usaid.gov).  POC for CDC 
is Maureen Sinclair (tel: +7-3272-50-76-12, extension 458; 
email: msinclair@usaid.gov).
