RFP ANNOUNCEMENT: IDENTIFYING TARGETS FOR THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS USING PROTEOMIC TECHNOLOGIES - NIH-NIAID-DMID-BAA-03-38 RELEASE DATE: January 3, 2003 NOTICE: NOT-AI-03-007 National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) (http://www.niaid.nih.gov) Receipt Date: March 4, 2003 DESCRIPTION NIAID is establishing a Broad Agency Agreement (BAA) to solicit proposals to address the Institute's need for research programs focused on the discovery of targets for potential candidates for the next generation of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics against microorganisms considered agents of bioterrorism or responsible for emerging and/or re-emerging diseases using proteomic technologies. The research programs shall be focused on NIAID category A-C pathogens and microorganisms responsible for emerging and/or re- emerging diseases found at NIAID web site http://www2.niaid.nih.gov/Biodefense/bandc_priority.htm. The primary goal of these programs is to characterize the pathogen and/or host cell proteome, identifying proteins associated with the biology of the microbes, mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis, innate and adaptive immune responses to infectious agents, and/or non-immune mediated host responses that contribute to microbial pathogenesis. It is anticipated that the research programs will discover targets for potential candidates for the next generation of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics using existing proteomics technologies, augmentation of existing technologies, and/or the creation of novel proteomics approaches and performing early stage validation of these targets. It is anticipated that five (5) to ten (10) cost reimbursement, completion type contracts will be awarded, each with a period of five (5) years, beginning approximately September 2003. RFP NIH-NIAID-DMID-BAA-03-38 will be available electronically on or about December 13, 2002, and may be accessed through the NIAID Contract Management Branch (CMB) Home Page at http://www.niaid.nih.gov/contract and will be posted on FedBizOpps at http://www.fedbizopps.gov/. Responses to this RFP will be due on March 4, 2003. Any responsible Offeror may submit a proposal which will be considered by the Government. This advertisement does not commit the Government to award a contract. No collect calls will be accepted.
