Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), solicits Cooperative Agreement (U01) applications from institutions/organizations that propose to provide the U.S. scientific and public health communities better resources, knowledge, and tools to improve their ability to prepare for, identify and prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Research projects will become part of the Models of Infectious Disease Agent Study (MIDAS) network. This FOA is a reissuance of a prior FOA (RFA-GM-11-002). The MIDAS network consists of a centralized Information Technology Resource (announced separately), a Centers of Excellence component (announced separately) and, with this announcement, the continuation of a network of multidisciplinary scientists conducting computational and mathematical research to improve the ability to prepare for, detect, control, and prevent emerging infectious diseases caused by naturally occurring or intentionally released pathogens, including those relevant to biodefense.
