CReNIDs will operate under CFDA 93.855 (Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research), the parent program under which NIAID has distributed $71.9 billion in federal dollars across 20,687 grants since 1974. The program operates under authority of Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act (42 USC 241 and 284) and Federal Regulations 42 CFR Part 52 and 2 CFR Part 200.
