Today, there are no @US_FDA-approved broad-spectrum therapeutics to treat people with dengue, Zika, West Nile, and Chikungunya and other diseases caused by members of these viral families – but we’re working to change that. BARDA and VITAL, a BARDA Accelerator Network Hub, are partnering to offer prizes to the innovators who can develop novel broad-spectrum antiviral drugs that address this gap in the antiviral pipeline. aspr.hhs.gov/newsroom/Pages/…
