Attach with "Other Attachment Forms." Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs): FFRDCs are operated, managed, and/or administered by a university or consortium of universities, other not-for-profit or nonprofit organization, or an industrial firm, as an autonomous organization or as an identifiable separate operating unit of a parent organization. A FFRDC meets some special long-term research or development need which cannot be met as effectively by an agency's existing in-house or contractor resources. FFRDC's enable agencies to use private sector resources to accomplish tasks that are integral to the mission and operation of the sponsoring agency.

| Description: |
The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to: 1) optimize and standardize existing strategies aiming to reduce the abundance of host-seeking I. scapularis nymphs infected with human pathogens, especially Lyme disease spirochetes (density of infected nymph or DIN); 2) evaluate efficacy and reproducibility of operational use of these protocols in high-risk settings (e.g., wooded residential properties, high-use wooded recreational areas) across the Midwest, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States where baseline densities or DIN are elevated; and 3) develop standard operating procedures that may be used by homeowners or vector control professionals to deploy these interventions within communities at risk for exposure to Lyme disease spirochetes and other I. scapularis-borne pathogens. |
