RRPV Solicitation Summary: Rapid Antigen Production for Immunoassay Diagnostics (RAPID)

The Department of Health and Human Services, through BARDA within ASPR, is seeking support for advanced research and development of rapid antibody and other protein-based molecular recognition reagent generation platforms for immunoassay diagnostics. The work is intended to create flexible, end-to-end systems that can generate high-performance binders against known and emerging biological threats and produce assay-ready reagents quickly. The opportunity emphasizes compressing the path from pathogen sequence to diagnostic reagents, and a virtual Proposer’s Conference and Teaming Connect is scheduled for April 27, 2026 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST. The full RPP, conference registration details, and consortium information are available through the RRPV website, and the listed contact is Rebecca Harmon at rebecca.harmon@ati.org.
