Burkholderia pseudomallei Animal Modeling for Future Testing of Novel Medical Countermeasures

Due: May 1, 2025

$73,000

Description

This project involves developing animal models for Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei, the etiological agents of the diseases glanders and melioidosis. There are currently no effective vaccines against either of these bacteria and antibiotic resistance continues to be a concern for the biodefense community. Our work predominantly deals with developing mouse models of infection, characterizing the pathogenesis of the bacteria, and documenting the host immune response to the ensuing infection.

Award Ceiling$73,000

Grantor Contact InformationChristopher Kevin Cote, Phone: 301-619-4936Grantor Emailchristopher.k.cote.civ@health.milOther Grantor InformaitonThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
