- Resources required or lacking or existing leverageable resources (e.g., existing partnerships, collaborations, or infrastructure) that could advance the strategic priorities
- Emerging scientific advances or techniques in basic, diagnostic, therapeutic, or vaccine research that may accelerate the research priorities detailed in the framework above
- Additional ideas for bold, innovative research initiatives, processes, or data-driven approaches that could advance the response to COVID
The RFI remains open for individual responses until December 7.
