- Additional Information on Eligibility
- Only the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) in Entebbe, Uganda, is eligible to apply for this RFA for the following reasons: 1) UVRI has an acceptable, existing laboratory facility, located in Arua, Uganda, which is within study area for the plague and rodent-associated diseases and is near an international airport, which makes the transfer of samples easier; 2) UVRI has an acceptable, existing arbovirus laboratory facility in Entebbe, Uganda, which is within the arbovirus study area and near an international airport, which makes the transfer of samples easier; 3) UVRI is already equipped with the resources and infrastructure necessary for the scope of work required; which will eliminate start-up costs and save the U.S. taxpayer money, since insufficient funds are available to this project to construct new infrastructure; 4) the work of this project is an extension of previous HHS/CDC programs in Uganda, and this project will use previously generated databases currently under the administration of UVRI; and 5) UVRI has connections with other HHS institutions, particularly HHS/NIH, which should ease the transfer of lessons learned and data to programs engaged in the development and evaluation of drugs and other countermeasures against plague, conducted collaboratively with CDC.
