Infectious Diseases and Applied Rsch Technology
Abstract
Applied research to design and refine drugs, vaccines, other medical countermeasures against naturally occurring infectious diseases as identified by worldwide medical surveillance and capability needs assessments. Promising medical countermeasures identified in this Project are further matured under PE 0603002A (Medical Advanced Technology) / Project MM9 (Tech Base/Enabling Rsrch for Infect Dis Adv Tech), Project MN8 (Drugs to Prevent and Treat Malaria Advanced Tech), and Project MO9 (Vaccines to Prevent Dengue Fever Advanced Tech). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense (Research and Engineering) science and technology focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work is managed by the United States Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) in coordination with the Naval Medical Research Center (NMRC). The Army is responsible for programming and funding all Department of Defense (DoD) naturally occurring infectious disease research requirements, thereby precluding duplication of effort within the Military Departments.
