OCONUS Laboratory Infrastructure Support (Army)

Abstract

The Outside of the Continental United States (OCONUS) Laboratory Infrastructure Support provides management support for research infrastructure at selected overseas laboratories and research sites that conduct biosurveillance and basic to late-stage clinical research and evaluation of investigational products, such as biologics, drugs, protectants, technologies, and knowledge products to treat/prevent infectious diseases for the purpose of protecting the Warfighter; this is accomplished through collaborative efforts with the respective host nation governments. These sites are the US Army Medical Research Unit-Kenya (USAMRU-K) in Nairobi, Kenya, the US Army Medical Research Unit-Georgia (USAMRU-G) in Tbilisi, Georgia, and the US Army Medical Component-Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences (USAMC-AFRIMS) in Bangkok, Thailand. USAMRU-G is the newest laboratory, and is being established to provide support in the Caucasus region, similar to that provided by the laboratories in Kenya and Thailand to East Africa and Southeast Asia regions.
