Purchase Description

Name of Item or Project Title:

Purchase of Kewaunee Alpha System Carts on Casters (Brand-name or equal) laboratory mobile benches for the lab at Antiviral Program for Pandemics (APP) program at NCATS. This is a COVID-19 related activity.

Statement of Need and Purpose:

Purchase of Kewaunee twenty-six (26) Alpha System Carts on Casters (Brand-name or equal) laboratory mobile benches for the lab at Antiviral Program for Pandemics (APP) program at

NCATS. Lab benches are essential laboratory equipment for researchers to perform daily tasks and experiments. These benches will allow scientists to support ongoing work to develop safe and effective antivirals.

Background Information and Objective:

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation’s leading medical research agency and the primary Federal agency whose mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability, conducting, supporting and making medical discoveries that improve people’s health and save lives.

The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) is a part of the National

Institutes of Health (NIH), which mission it is to catalyze the generation of innovative methods and technologies that will enhance the development, testing and implementation of diagnostics and therapeutics across a wide range of human diseases and conditions.

The Antiviral Program for Pandemics (APP) aims to develop safe and effective antivirals to combat SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, as well as to build sustainable platforms for targeted drug discovery and development of a robust pipeline of antivirals against viruses with pandemic potential.

APP will accelerate the development of a portfolio of promising antivirals that can quickly pivot to combat future pandemics. Having safe and effective oral antiviral candidates ready for deployment in later-stage clinical trials against a newly emergent virus would save lives, reduce serious illness and prevent overwhelming surges in hospitalizations during a viral outbreak or pandemic

Thus, the APP within the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) requires the Kewaunee Alpha System Carts on Casters (Brand-name or equal) laboratory mobile benches for use in the labs. Lab benches are essential laboratory equipment for researchers to perform daily tasks and experiments. These benches will allow scientists to support ongoing work to develop safe and effective antivirals.
