The MIDAS network, as modified by this FOA and companion FOAs announced separately will consist of a centralized Information Technology Resource, Centers of Excellence component, and a research projects component. The Information Technology Resource will further the research carried out by a network of multidisciplinary scientists conducting computational and mathematical research to improve the ability to prepare for, identify, detect, control, and prevent emerging infectious diseases caused by naturally occurring or intentionally released pathogens, including those relevant to biodefense. The resource will support the data, logistics, software and expert consultation needs of the MIDAS Network.
