The purpose of RISER reagents is to assist in characterization of pathogens as part of CDC surveillance activities; to aid in the development, evaluation, validation and testing of diagnostic products; to support vaccine development; and to support other research activities that increase awareness, knowledge, and understanding of the public health issues related to these pathogens. The RISER inventory of pathogens and other reagents will be regularly updated during contract performance to ensure that the catalog reflects current circulating or novel pathogen strains relevant to the ongoing surveillance and research activities of CDC and its partner laboratories.
