The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seeks to advance its mission by providing critical resources, staff and facilities support for the Regional Biocontainment Laboratories (RBLs). The RBLs provide biosafety level 2 and 3 (BSL-2/3) biocontainment facilities for research on infectious diseases. They play a critical role in public health emergency response by facilitating key activities related to infectious disease outbreaks and biosafety/biosecurity concerns. Congress has denoted the RBLs a NIAID research priority. This program will provide multi-year funding for facility maintenance, operations and biocontainment-specific training for personnel to maintain a capable BSL-3 level workforce in the United States.
