RFP ANNOUNCEMENT: NEW ANIMAL MODELS FOR: PART A -- TUBERCULOSIS (TB); AND PART B -- INVASIVE ASPERGILLOSIS (IA) - NIH-NIAID-DMID-03-09 Release Date: April 10, 2002 NOTICE: NOT-AI-02-016 National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (http://www.niaid.nih.gov) Receipt Date: August 12, 2002 DESCRIPTION The Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID) of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH), has a requirement to establish contract resources for the development of animal models in tuberculosis and invasive aspergillosis that are suitable to validate potential targets for drug, diagnostic and vaccine development. For tuberculosis, these models shall allow rapid throughput evaluation of the in vivo role of gene products and shall be made available as a service to the community. For invasive aspergillosis, contract resources are required to: standardize animal models of infection; develop a means for reliable quantification of infectious burden; define surrogate markers of infection and disease progression; then utilize these models to address community-posed research questions. Together, these resources are to fill a critical gap in the path from genomic to translational research in tuberculosis and invasive aspergillosis. It is anticipated that two (2) cost reimbursement; completion type contracts will be awarded (one contract for each PART) for a period of seven (7) years, beginning approximately May 5, 2003. NIH-NIAID-DMID-03-09 will be available electronically on or about April 12, 2002, and may be accessed through the NIAID Contract Management Branch (CMB) Home Page at http://www.niaid.nih.gov/contract -- and is also posted on FedBizOpps.
