NIAID is recompeting its Structural Genomics Centers for Infectious Diseases program, now referred to as the Centers for Research on Structural Biology of Infectious Diseases (CRSTAL-ID).
Review the request for proposals at Centers for Research on Structural Biology of Infectious Diseases.
Successful offerors will support the CRSTAL-ID program by:
- Generating 3D structures for targets derived from bacterial, viral, eukaryotic and other human pathogens using state-of-the-art high-throughput technologies and structural biology methodologies, including x-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance, cryo-EM, and structural modeling
- Characterizing molecular functions and biochemical properties of selected targets
- Evaluating structure-guided design and functional studies of drug targets and vaccine candidates
- Providing pandemic preparedness and rapid response to emerging infectious diseases threats and programmatic priorities
- Providing a 3D structure determination service to the external scientific community
- Disseminating contract-generated resources, including all 3D structure information and reagents
We anticipate making two cost-reimbursement type level-of-effort contracts with a one-year base period of performance plus four one-year option periods.
For inquiries, contact Swee Teo, NIAID’s contracting officer for the solicitation.
