Proposers Conference for the Agnostic Diagnostic RPP through which BARDA is seeking to establish a foundational, FDA-cleared mNGS diagnostic capability for known viral and bacterial pathogens that can be rapidly adapted, with only database updates, to novel or emerging threats. Establishing this capability will enhance US public health and biodefense readiness, reduce dependence on single-pathogen assays, and provide a flexible diagnostic infrastructure for rapid response during future public health emergences.
Any questions that you would like answered during the Proposers Conference must be submitted in advance to rrpv@ati.org.
After the proposers conference, stay on the Zoom for a virtual “connect” session to help RRPV members collaborate and partner in relation to the technical capabilities required in the RPP. Organizations interested in teaming will be allowed a two (2) minute pitch presentation. Pitch presentations will describe information relating to an organization’s ongoing work, organizational capabilities, and partnering preferences. Contact information for each presenting organization will be provided on each slide so that audience members can follow-up directly with whomever they would be interested in connecting with.
RRPV Member organizations may register to present a slide at the 26-09-AgDx RPP Teaming Connect at: https://atisc.formstack.com/forms/rrpv_teaming_connect_agdx. Please register by Thursday, October 30th at 12pm EST. Follow-up information about this Teaming Connect will be sent to all approved presenters. Register early, as presenter spots are limited!
