Project Summary

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID) supports research to better understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious diseases caused by virtually all infectious agents, except HIV. Within DMID, the Office of Biodefense, Research Resources and Translational Research (OBRRTR) supports biodefense and emerging infectious disease countermeasure development through contracts, supports translational research centers and partnerships, and provides preclinical development services, from reagents, assays, and animal models to product-specific services for vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics.



NIAID plays a key role in the Antiviral Program for Pandemics, which is a multiagency effort aimed at combatting viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 that have the potential to create pandemics. In this role, NIAID supports and facilitates the development of products to treat or prevent infection. A frequent feature of infection with these viruses is changes to cellular structures in affected tissues such as the lung, liver or brain. To visualize these changes, tissues are preserved, immobilized, sectioned, and stained on slides that can be examined and images captured using a specialized microscope. Current efforts involve testing products in small laboratory species (i.e., mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc) therefore the specialists who evaluate these slides are veterinary pathologists and the technical experts who generate the slides are histology technicians. The Government seeks commercially available veterinary pathology services to evaluate and interpret slides, capture repre...
