The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), one of 27 institutes of the National Institutes of Health, an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), conducts and supports research to understand, treat, and ultimately prevent the myriad infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases that threaten millions of human lives. Through a variety of research grants and contracts, NIAID’s Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID) specifically supports extramural research to develop new medical countermeasures (MCMs) against potential agents of bioterrorism, drug-resistant pathogens, and emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.
