    E.O. 12958: N/A
    TAGS: PGOV EAID KFLU TSPL EG
    SUBJECT: A/S Jones meets with GoE officials on Health, Science, and
    Technology Issues

    REF: CAIRO 162

    ¶1. (SBU) Key Points:

    --In January 20 meetings, A/S Jones emphasized that health,
    science, and technology cooperation form an important component of
    the US-Egypt relationship and stated OES's desire to bolstering
    collaboration.

    --According to Higher Education and Science Research Minister Hany
    Helal, the Egyptian government (GoE) has identified renewable
    energy, health, agriculture, and water as key national science and
    technology priorities.

    --Health Minister Hatem El-Gabaly agreed to support USG programs in
    combating polio in OIC-afflicted countries as well as the recently
    announced Global Health Initiative.

    --A roundtable discussion with Egyptian scientists revealed strong
    support for the US-Egypt science and technology fund but also
    concerns about inadequate grant funding, inadequate review feedback
    and insufficient time to complete research projects.

    ¶2. (U) A/S Jones explained in all of her meetings that the US
    remains committed to expanding existing partnerships with the
    Egyptian government and scientific community and looks forward to
    working together on health, science, and technology programs.
    During her January 20 visit, A/S Jones also met with Ministry of
    Foreign Affairs officials and delivered the Copenhagen Accord
    demarche (Ref A).

    --------------------------------------------- -------

    Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research

    --------------------------------------------- -------

    ¶3. (SBU) Higher Education and Scientific Research Minister Helal
    explained the Ministry is working closely with the Prime Minister's
    Supreme Council on Science and Technology (Ref B), to identify
    national science and technology priorities and has directed the
    Science and Technology Development Fund (STDF) to serve as the lead
    organization to support research proposals addressing these issues.
    He stated that STDF - a Ministry organization created in 2007 to
    manage inter-government science and technology policy - will seek
    to finance programs in renewable energy, health, agriculture, and
    water.  Helal noted that the Ministry would also like to raise
    financial support to the US-Egypt Science and Technology
    Contribution Fund (STCF), increasing annual contributions from 2 to
    5 million USD from both countries.

    ¶4. (SBU) A/S Jones said the US agrees that financial contributions
    for STCF need to be expanded and discussions are underway to
    consider such an increase.  She also expressed concern about the
    low acceptance of submitted proposals, noting that the current 8%
    success rate has the potential to discourage scientists from
    applying for funding. A/S Jones also urged the Ministry to continue
    providing written explanations for rejected research proposals and
    to provide opportunities to resubmit them. Helal pledged the
    Ministry's support and also stated his desire to continue dialogue
    regarding increased financial support for STCF.

    ------------------

    Ministry of Health

    ------------------

    ¶5. (SBU) Health Minister El-Gabaly told A/S Jones that Egypt
    attributes part of its success in lowering its H5N1 mortality rate
    to USG public awareness programs, calling them "tremendously
    helpful health activities."  El-Gabaly stated that the Ministry
    will gladly support USG plans to combat polio in Nigeria,
    Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Sudan as well and looks forward to
    participating in the new Global Health Initiative. "I'm pro-US
    cooperation," El-Gabaly explained and stated that he hopes the US
    will assume a larger leadership role in developing new science,
    technology, and health programs in Egypt and across the region. A/S
    Jones asked El-Gabaly to contribute to the planning for the April
    2010 pandemic influenza meeting in Hanoi and the Minister agreed.

    CAIRO 00000224  002 OF 002

    --------------------------------------------- ----

    US-Egypt Science and Technology Fund Participants

    --------------------------------------------- ----

    ¶6. (SBU) In a meeting with 14 scientists - all of them former
    participants in STCF programs - A/S Jones said that the US is
    firmly committed to  American and Egyptian research and recognizes
    the need for increased funding.  The group, which consisted
    primarily of Junior Scientist visitor alumnae (a program that
    provides funds for short-term training at US institutions), noted
    the overall success of STCF in offering financial assistance for a
    multitude of research areas but also identified several areas for
    improvement.  A lack of communication in explaining the reason for
    rejecting research proposals, insufficient funds to support
    Egyptian scientists working in the US, and delays in approving
    projects were listed as continuing problems.  A/S Jones offered to
    raise these concerns with the MoHE and urged those in attendance to
    seek new ways to collaborate with US researchers.  She also
    suggested that information regarding the fund and other funding
    opportunities be provided on-line.

    ¶7. (U) A/S Jones cleared this message.
