Rocky Mountain Regional Center of Excellence for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases Research (RMRCE)

The Rocky Mountain Regional Center of Excellence (RMRCE) for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases Research was established in 2004 as part of a national effort by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to facilitate research, product development and training of scientists for important emerging infectious diseases and bio-threat agents. The primary mission fo RMRCE is to synergize the expertise of investigators from multiple research institutions within the Rocky Mountain Region VIII (CO, MT, ND, SD, UT, WY) in a manner that sustains multidisciplinary programs in basic and translational research on biodefense and emerging infectious diseases.

This organization is recognized as one of the Regional Centers of Excellence for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases (RCEs) by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
