The VTEU contractors must be able to perform identification, design, development, implementation, analysis and reporting of clinical studies and clinical trials. Tasks and support functions executed by the organizations improve the understanding, diagnosing, treating, and preventing infectious diseases caused by viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal pathogens, including the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Priority Biodefense Pathogens and emerging infectious disease pathogens.
