FIND - RFP for product evaluation and optimization of mpox point-of-care tests

Discussion
1

FIND is working with global partners to accelerate and expand the range of diagnostics available as part of the 100 Days Mission to reach communities equitably and fast. Gaps are evident as diagnostic capabilities are limited through lab-based tests that take days for results. Therefore, FIND is collaborating with Africa CDC to support the mpox diagnostic response by ensuring the development, evaluation and availability of diagnostics suitable in decentralized settings and benchmarking activities to the 100 Days Mission for medical countermeasures.

FIND is opening a Request for Proposals (RFP) to find developers and manufacturers of antigen-detecting lateral flow tests (LFTs) and point-of-care molecular tests for the detection of monkeypox virus (MPXV) clade 1 (including clade 1b) and clade 2 to perform an independent performance evaluation in LMICs sites and accelerate product development.
