Summary

This document, Appendix 1 to RFI W911SR-26-S-PPFC, outlines the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) threats of concern for the JPM CBRN Medical Accelerated Defense Pharmaceuticals (ADP) program. The program is requesting information from product developers on the design, manufacturing, and testing of advanced prophylactic platform technologies targeting one or more of these specified threats. The prioritized list includes Viral Targets (e.g., Filoviruses, Nipah), Bacterial Targets (e.g., Antimicrobial Resistant Bacteria, Plague, Anthrax), Toxin Targets (e.g., Ricin, Botulinum Toxin), Chemical Targets (e.g., Fentanyl Derivatives, Nerve Agents), and Radiation Targets (e.g., Ionizing, Nuclear).
