Their focus is on understanding the infectious diseases threatening the Fighting Force both domestically and abroad. The research programs include: dengue, influenza, and adenovirus infections and other emerging and re-emerging viral diseases such as zika, chikungunya and hepatitis C, etc. Infectious disease syndromes caused by existing, emerging, or re-emerging viral pathogens is also an area of research, as well as discovering new and as of yet unidentified human pathogens. Once specific threats have been determined, they work on those identified threats along a scientific continuum including epidemiologic disease surveillance and sample collection, basic and exploratory science, translational research, and product research and development. The intent is to license (as applicable) and field medical countermeasures and medical solutions designed to eliminate or mitigate these threats in the most safe, expeditious, cost effective, and high quality manner possible. Applicants selected will be subject to a U.S. Government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements.
