Advancing countermeasures against 21st century health threats by bringing together public private partnerships and advancing innovation. Part of HHS/ASPR.
Today, we took steps to speed the development and secure domestic manufacturing of two vaccines – one by @moderna_tx & another by @JanssenUS - to prevent the spread of #COVID19 and protect people at home and abroad. hhs.gov/about/news/202…
Under #ProjectNextGen, we’re advancing the clinical development of next generation COVID-19 #vaccines that offer broader, longer lasting protection & that are easier to administer & reduce viral spread. This #NationalVaccinationDay, learn more: ow.ly/VAjA50QTKNZ
The @T2Bio T2Biothreat Panel is the newest @US_FDA clearance of a BARDA-supported product. This molecular diagnostic test runs on the T2Dx instrument and detects & differentiates between 6 biothreat pathogens in a single sample. Learn more: ow.ly/7hgu50Q2nMN
Under #ProjectNextGen, we are partnering with @Vaxart on planning a Phase 2b clinical trial that would compare its oral pill #COVID19 vaccine candidate to a currently approved COVID-19 vaccine. Learn more about Project NextGen: ow.ly/kSoq50QtHxE
Mucosal vaccines may have the potential to help prevent infection and transmission of COVID-19. Check out the latest #BARDAResearch to learn about progress in development & remaining challenges in getting vaccines to licensure: ow.ly/SIQS50OBhf8
BARDA is committed to supporting the next generation of innovative vaccine & therapeutic investments to help protect our nation against coronavirus and other infectious diseases.
We are joining forces with Tangen Biosciences to develop a fast, accurate, point-of-care molecular diagnostic test for use on the Tangen GeneSpark molecular diagnostic system to aid in diagnosing #COVID-19. medicalcountermeasures.gov/newsroom/2020/…
A Bluetooth-enabled, 60-second, point-of-care #COVID19 diagnostic test that could help clinicians to more quickly and effectively diagnose patients is being developed through a partnership between BARDA and @hememics.

We’re excited about Project NextGen which supports vaccine innovation efforts to enhance efficacy & accessibility of vaccines for future pathogens with pandemic potential – they will ideally be developed faster, easier to transport, & cost less compared to current vaccines.
🆕 As a part of Project NextGen, we opened a new area of interest (AOI 15) under our Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), seeking submissions for the clinical development & efficacy of phase 2-ready next generation #COVID19 vaccines. sam.gov/opp/6f989eb9c4…
Today, we purchased a supply of @Amgen’s Nplate, a drug to combat the effects of acute radiation sickness after radiological or nuclear emergencies. For more about how we leverage existing technology & inventory management practices to ensure preparedness: bit.ly/3EedtyT
We’re partnering w/ @JPEOCBRND to provide subject matter expertise to @humanigen to support development of a monoclonal antibody therapeutic w/ potential to treat cytokine storm, reducing hospital stays & preventing lung damage from #COVID19. Learn more: medicalcountermeasures.gov/newsroom/2020/…
