Limited Competition: National Biocontainment Laboratories (NBLs) Operations Support (UC7 Clinical Trials Not Allowed): The goal of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to continue to provide operations support to the National Biocontainment Laboratories at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston, Texas and Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts. Operations support is provided in the following areas: facility maintenance and operations; biosecurity; environmental health and safety regulations and requirements; regulatory compliance; and specialized research support services. The NBLs serve as a national resource for efforts in conducting pre-clinical and laboratory (in vitro and in vivo) research and testing on hazardous biological agents in support of NIAIDs biodefense and emerging infectious diseases research efforts. Additionally, in times of a national biodefense or emerging infectious disease (EID) emergency, the NBLs may be expected to rapidly realign their activities to assist response efforts within the US under the direction of NIAID.
