The solicitation method is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). Proposals may be submitted in one or both of the following Research Areas: Research Area 1: The Contractor shall carry out an international and /or domestic animal surveillance program focused on virologic, epidemiologic, and disease surveillance with emphasis on the rapid characterization of influenza viruses with pandemic potential. Research Area 2: The Contractor shall carry out a research program focused on two parts: Part A: Determination of the molecular, ecologic and/or environmental factors that influence the evolution, emergence, transmission and pathogenicity of influenza viruses, including studies on animal influenza viruses with pandemic potential; and Part B: Characterization of the immune response to influenza infection and /or vaccination to improve understanding of the immune correlates of protection and cross-protection.
