The Development Therapeutics Branch, Basic Research and Development

Program, Division of AIDS of the National Institute of Allergy and

Infectious Diseases (NIAID), is soliciting proposals from offerors

with the capability to evaluate therapeutic agents for efficacy

against Toxoplasma gondii encephalitis and latent toxoplasma

infection in a rodent model.  The contractor will evaluate

therapeutic agents supplied or approved by the Project Officer for

efficacy against Toxoplasma gondii in both rodent and in vitro

models.  During evaluations, the contractor may need to modify,

improve or otherwise further characterize the rodent model and or in

vitro model or develop other models to improve model utility in the

evaluation of therapies.  The Contractor may also be required to

design alternative protocols and to conduct additional studies for

detailed evaluation of promising therapeutic regimens.



Offerors must have in vivo and in vitro models available at the time

of proposal.  Past experience with animal models for Toxoplasmosis,

the availability of the animals and strains of Toxoplasma gondii, and

drug testing capability must be documented.  This contract will be

used to assist in the development of anti-infective therapies, to

better understand the potential adverse health effects of such

clinical trials.



This is an announcement for an anticipated Request for Proposal

(RFP).  The issuance of the RFP NIH-NIAID-DAIDS-93-25 will be on or

about December 28, 1992, and proposals will be due by COB on or about

March 24, 1993.  It is anticipated that one cost-reimbursement

contract will be awarded as a result of this solicitation and that

the contract will have a five year period of performance.
