The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support high risk, milestone-driven approaches for the development of robust culture techniques, and/or genetic and molecular tools to better understand the biology of select human eukaryotic pathogens including the microsporidian Enterocytozoon bieneusi; Pneumocystis jirovecii; Plasmodium vivax; and Babesia microti. This NOFO will use a milestone-driven, biphasic award mechanism. Transition to the second phase will depend on the successful completion of milestones.
