Impact/Purpose:
Overarching Objectives and Links to Multi-Year Planning
This task directly supports the 2003 Drinking Water Research Program Multi-Year Plan's long term goal 2 to "develop new data, innovative tools and improved technologies to support decision making by the Office of Water on the Contaminate Candidate List and other regulatory issues, and implementation of rules by states, local authorities and water utilities" under GRPA Goal 2 (Clean and Safe Water). The overarching objective is to provide the Office of Water, Agency risk assessors and managers, scientists, state regulators, water industry and industry spokes groups with an evaluation of the use of the VFAR approach for determining which human enteric viruses should be on future CCL lists.
Specific Subtask Objectives:
o Conduct a bioinformatics study of human caliciviruses to determine appropriate regions to target for VFAR studies (to be completed by 9/05 in support of Long Term Goal 2 (due 2010)).
o Develop a microarray assay for typing human caliciviruses (to be completed by 9/06 in support of Long Term Goal 2 (due 2010)).
