This National Institutes of Health (NIH) Models of Infectious Disease Agent Study (MIDAS) network grant offers a Cooperative Agreement (U24) for an essential Information Technology Resource. This resource is integral to the broader MIDAS network, which also comprises Centers of Excellence and various research projects. The primary goal of this grant is to advance computational and mathematical research focused on infectious diseases. Specifically, it aims to enhance global capabilities in preparing for, identifying, detecting, controlling, and preventing emerging infectious diseases, including those relevant to biodefense. The awarded resource will provide crucial data, logistics, software, and expert consultation to support the multidisciplinary scientists within the MIDAS Network.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits Cooperative Agreement (U24) applications for an Information Technology Resource within the Models of Infectious Disease Agent Study (MIDAS) network. The MIDAS network, as modified by this FOA and companion FOAs announced separately will consist of a centralized Information Technology Resource, Centers of Excellence component, and a research projects component. The Information Technology Resource will further the research carried out by a network of multidisciplinary scientists conducting computational and mathematical research to improve the ability to prepare for, identify, detect, control, and prevent emerging infectious diseases caused by naturally occurring or intentionally released pathogens, including those relevant to biodefense. The resource will support the data, logistics, software and expert consultation needs of the MIDAS Network. |
