- Description
- The Division of Allergy, Immunology and Transplantation of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has a requirement to establish and support several highly interactive, multi-disciplinary teams focused on large-scale discovery of novel antibody (B cell) and/or T cell epitopes associated with microorganisms that are potential agents of bioterrorism, their toxins, and re-emerging and emerging infectious diseases listed as NIAID category A-C agents at http://www.niaid.nih.gov/dmid/biodefense/bandc_priority.htm Research conducted under this initiative may include one or more type of epitope discovery, for example: discovery of linear and/or conformational antibody epitopes, discovery of cytotoxic and/or helper T cell epitopes presented by MHC class I and class II molecules, respectively, and discovery of epitopes/ligands presented by non-classical MHC and/or MHC-related molecules. The initiative also promotes the development of novel or improved high-throughput screening methods for antibody and/or T cell epitope identification, with an emphasis on novel methods for the identification of antibody epitopes or T helper cell epitopes. Through the Large-Scale Antibody and T Cell Epitope Discovery Program, the NIAID will fund multiple proposals that address any or all of the four research options listed in the Statement of Work. It is anticipated that four to six (4-6) cost-reimbursement, completion type contracts will be awarded for a period of five (5) years, beginning approximately September 2, 2003. RFP-NIH-NIAID-DAIT-03-43 will be available electronically on or about October 18, 2002, and may be accessed through the NIAID Contract Management Branch (CMB) Home Page by using the following electronic address and instructions: NIAID/CMB Home Page (via the WWW): Use http://www.niaid.nih.gov/contract to access the NIAID/CMB Home Page. Once at the NIAID/CMB Home Page, click on the "RFPs" link and then click on "RFP NIH-NIAID-DAIT-03-43." Please note that the RFP has been revised to include only the Work Statement, Deliverable and Reporting Requirements, Special Requirements, Technical Evaluation Criteria, and the Specific RFP Instructions and Provisions. All information required for the submission of an offer will be contained in the electronic RFP package. Responses to this RFP will be due on January 21, 2003. Any responsible offeror may submit a proposal for consideration by the Government. This advertisement does not commit the Government to award a contract. No collect calls will be accepted.
