NEIDL Awarded $7.5 Million Construction Grant
We are excited to announce that the NEIDL successfully competed for a $7.5 million construction grant (C06) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This generous funding will be crucial in expanding the NEIDL’s capabilities to address both current and future research needs.
The increasing frequency of new and reemerging high consequence pathogens causing human (and animal) diseases and the limited availability of proven safe and effective medical countermeasures highlight the need to improve operational efficiency for research.
The NEIDL was established to generate essential information about new and reemerging infectious pathogens and the diseases they cause, to facilitate development of vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics, and to train future generations of scientists to safely study pathogens with pandemic potential.
The C06 Grant will expand the NEIDL’s capabilities, giving investigators more flexibility to conduct research, and ensuring that the NEIDL remains at the forefront of infectious diseases research and pandemic response readiness.
