Description
The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), through the Rapid Response and Preparedness Ventures (RRPV), will soon release a new program aimed at accelerating the end-to-end development and production of antibodies and other protein-based molecular recognition reagents for diagnostic applications. This program seeks integrated solutions that significantly reduce traditional development timelines, enabling rapid delivery of purified, assay-ready reagents within weeks from target identification. Proposed approaches must demonstrate the ability to generate high-affinity, high-specificity binders and scalable workflows suitable for diagnostic use, with a clear pathway toward GMP-compatible production. The objective is to establish a flexible, rapid capability adaptable to emerging public health threats for timely diagnostic reagent development.
