NIAID Biodefense
Welcome to the biodefense Web site of the National
Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of
Health (NIH). On this site, you will find biodefense-related
information for biomedical researchers, the public, and the media.
The NIAID awarded five “Cooperative Centers for Translational
Research on Human Immunology and Biodefense”
$85 M in 2003 to establish a “biodefense research network.”
Increasing the pace of
discovery in human immunology is now a national security priority.
