The goal of PREDICT is to establish a global early warning system for disease emergence that is capable of detecting, tracking and predicting the emergence of new infectious diseases in high-risk wildlife (e.g. bats, rodents, and non-human primates) that could pose a major threat to human health. Questions regarding this RFA will be accepted until 4:30 pm, June 22, 2009. The closing date for applications is July 27, 2009.
