This department is offering a grant for developing sensitive, selective, automated, and cost-effective technologies to detect and diagnose polymicrobial infections in biomedical laboratory animal models. The grant aims to enhance the identification of infectious agents, including those involved in vertical disease transmission, to support the establishment of pathogen-free resources for biomedical research. Small businesses are encouraged to propose innovative projects for microbial identification, including the development of necessary reagents and equipment. Applications must address the rapid and sensitive detection of infections to ensure the integrity of valuable research resources.

| Description:: | There is a need to develop systems that are sensitive, selective, automated, and cost/size effective and capable of detection and identification of polymicrobial infections that may represent a threat to the survival of valuable biomedical animal resources or contribute confounding factors to research using these resources. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks projects for rapid and sensitive detection of infectious agents as a key requirement for microbial identification in laboratory animal models. The diagnosis of polymicrobial infections has become increasingly important in enabling biological resource centers to meet the needs for establishing pathogen-free biological resources for current and future biomedical research needs. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages applications from small business concerns for Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) projects that propose innovative research in the areas of detection and identification of infectious agents, including those involved in vertical transmission of diseases into embryos and larvae and development of required reagents and equipment. (See more information listed in Section I. Funding Opportunity Description). |
