Development of novel and emerging technologies for the accurate detection and diagnosis of polymicrobial infections in biomedical laboratory animal models (SBIR [R43/R44]): There is a need to develop systems that are sensitive, selective, automated, and cost/size effective and capable of detection and identification of polymicrobial infections that may represent a threat to the survival of valuable biomedical animal resources or contribute confounding factors to research using these resources. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks projects for rapid and sensitive detection of infectious agents as a key requirement for microbial identification in laboratory animal models. The diagnosis of polymicrobial infections has become increasingly important in enabling biological resource centers to meet the needs for establishing pathogen-free biological resources for current and future biomedical research needs. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages applications from small business concerns for Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) projects that propose innovative research in the areas of detection and identification of infectious agents, including those involved in vertical transmission of diseases into embryos and larvae and development of required reagents and equipment.
