BIODEFENSE AND EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES - ADDENDUM TO PA-03-080 RELEASE DATE: May 8, 2003 NOTICE: NOT-AI-03-034 (see Notice of Inactivation NOT-AI-04-016) National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) (http://www.niaid.nih.gov/default.htm) PURPOSE The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is amending PA-03-080 at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-03-080.html to include basic research on the newly recognized Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Coronavirus. Scope of Research While the long term public health significance of SARS is not known, its recent emergence, ease of transmission, and disease severity warrant an immediate response from the biomedical research community. To this end, NIAID is amending PA-03-080 to include support for basic research on SARS as an emerging infectious disease. This amendment permits the submission of proposals to conduct basic research on SARS coronavirus including, but not limited to, the following areas: pathogenesis, immunity, treatment, prevention and diagnosis. Details of the scientific priorities addressed in this notice are available at: http://www.niaid.nih.gov/biodefense/rfalplat.htm. Investigators are strongly encouraged to review this information prior to submission. NIAID will continue to assess its SARS research program and will inform the biomedical community should future initiatives replace this program announcement in soliciting SARS grant applications.
