DHS-EPA Cooperative Center of Excellence on the Methods and Science to Conduct Microbial Risk Assessment in Support of Homeland Security Objectives: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as part of its Science to Achieve Results program, in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security's University Programs, is seeking applications for a Center that will address critical methodological and data gaps that are limiting the Nation's ability to complete credible microbial risk assessments for bio-threat agents. The focus for this solicitation is on risk assessments for terrorist incidents involving bio-threat agents in indoor and/or outdoor environments. The bio-threat agents of interest include bacteria, viruses, and biotoxins relating to the Category A agents anthrax, smallpox, botulism, plague, viral hemorrhagic fever, and tularemia (http://www.bt.cdc.gov/agent/agentlist-category.asp ). Recognizing that certain Category A agents require containment at biosafety levels that are not readily available (or in the case of smallpox, restricted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), it is therefore understood that validated surrogates will be used to conduct the research in lieu of using the actual agents. However, accessing partners with laboratory containment capabilities is highly encouraged.
