In the letter to Tulane, a contracting officer for the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Liem Nguyen, said the proposal had been rejected “based on technical factors, scientific priority, and availability of funds." The proposal, the letter added, "falls short of those considered by NIAID to offer the best opportunities for the most successful accomplishment of the acquisition objectives."

They just lost the contract. Whoever wrote the proposal did a poor job or NIH was not impressed with what they had done with the last contract, or money is just tight and this was not a high enough priority.

Corgenix Rapid Diagnostic Ebola Test Research Earns Divisional Best Abstract Award at AACC 2014 Meeting

"We are currently developing diagnostic products to detect the Lassa virus (LASV), Junin virus (JUNV), Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV), all very important pathogens. Through our consortium we are also in early development of additional products for Dengue virus (DENV), Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), Crimean-Congo virus (CCHV) and others. Our infectious disease products will be used not only in clinical laboratories but also in point-of-care testing in the field. The first of these products to be completed is the Rapid Test for detection of Lassa hemorrhagic fever. It is in final clinical studies and will be submitted to the FDA in 2012."
