Summary

The opportunity involves the analysis of dried blood spots from a clinical trial in Mali, specifically focusing on qRT-PCR testing for malaria infection. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) intends to award a sole source contract to the University of Washington for this work, which includes testing approximately 2000 samples collected during a clinical trial assessing the efficacy of a monoclonal antibody against Plasmodium falciparum. The selected contractor will need to perform highly sensitive molecular diagnostic assays to detect low levels of malaria parasites, ensuring the results are comparable across different cohorts and trials. This opportunity is suitable for specialized laboratories with expertise in qRT-PCR testing and a proven track record in malaria diagnostics.
