<P><SPAN class=676045121-12022008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wish to draw your attention to the following:</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>AIATSIS is seeking expressions of interest (EOIs) to undertake a consultancy project aimed at assisting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people working in the health sector to obtain skills in statistics - data collection, management, analysis, interpretation and use - and establishing sustainable networks to facilitate and strengthen the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander statistical workforce.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>This will include an assessment of the current status, and recommendations for improvements in the future. A detailed description of the project is in the attached brief.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>The project is to commence in late February 2008 and be completed by mid-year. Deliverables will be a draft report, for review by the project management committee, and a final report incorporating comments one month later. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>EOIs should include a brief description of the proposed approach (no more than two pages) and a brief cv for the principal researcher(s) describing relevant experience, and be delivered to AIATSIS by 10.00am on <STRONG>Monday 18 February.<SPAN class=676045121-12022008> </SPAN> E-mail delivery will be accepted.</STRONG></FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>We anticipate that the consultancy fee will be $80,000 ex-GST, plus expenses to be agreed.</FONT></P></DIV>
