The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (“NIAID”) recently published Broad Agency Announcement (‘BAA”) No. HHS-NIH-NIAID-BAA2023-1, which provides funding opportunities for the advancement of promising candidate vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics for Biodefense, Emerging Infectious Diseases, and Pandemic Preparedness.
Four Areas for NIAID Funding
1. Research Area 001 – Development of Vaccine Candidates for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases
The goal of Research Area 001 is to protect human health and well-being by advancing specific vaccine candidates that utilize technology platforms that ideally elicit a rapid onset of immunity following a single dose, provide a durable response, and are readily adaptable to multiple emerging pathogens.
Proposals Due Date and Time – April 11, 2023, 3:00 PM Eastern Time
2. Research Area 002 – Development of Therapeutic Candidates for Biodefense, Antimicrobial Resistant (AMR) Infections and Emerging Infectious Diseases
The objective of Research Area 002 is the development of new therapeutics for diseases caused by NIAID Emerging Infectious Diseases/Pathogens including Category A, B and C priority pathogens and certain bacterial and fungal pathogens identified in the 2019 CDC Antibiotic Resistance Threats Report.
Proposals Due Date and Time – April 11, 2023, 3:00 PM Eastern Time
3. Research Area 003 – Antiviral Program for Pandemics (APP): Development of Antivirals for RNA Viral Families of Pandemic Potential
The Antiviral Program for Pandemics (APP; https://www.niaid.nih.gov/research/antivirals) aims to develop safe and effective antivirals to combat SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, as well as to build sustainable platforms for targeted drug discovery and development of a robust pipeline of antivirals against viruses with pandemic potential.
Proposals Due Date and Time – March 13, 2023, 3:00 PM Eastern Time
4. Research Area 004 – Development of In Vitro Diagnostics for Biodefense, Antimicrobial Resistant Infections, and Emerging Infectious Diseases
NIAID is interested in supporting the development of promising diagnostics technologies in three areas for the detection of signatures from biothreat pathogens and toxins, as well as pathogens causing emerging, reemerging, antimicrobial-resistant infectious diseases, and for future pandemic preparedness.
- Next-generation Nucleic Acid Sequencing on Portable Systems
- Rapid Protein Detection
- Bacterial Identification and Phenotypic Antimicrobial Resistance Characterization.
