At the direction of the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND), the Medical CBRN Defense Consortium (MCDC) has released a Request for Information (RFI) seeking solutions to combat the novel Coronavirus (2019-NCoV) pandemic with a focus on the following areas:
- Diagnostics/Monitoring
- Surveillance
- Information Systems for Point of Care
- Therapeutics
- Prophylactics
- Clinical Trials
All researchers are invited to respond with solutions to the RFI; membership in the consortium is not required. Submission information can be found on the Medical CBRN Defense Consortium website.
Given the urgency to find solutions quickly, researchers are requested to respond as soon as possible. The submitted solutions will be considered for federally-funded research and development projects.
