DEMIST RFP
Determining and Extrapolating Microbial Inactivation and Susceptibility of Tuberculosis (DEMIST)
Primary Purpose: Determine far-UVC inactivation constants for airborne tuberculosis and its surrogates, and validate methods using Staphylococcus aureus as a reference organism.
Out of scope: Studies using other UV wavelengths such as 254-nm UVC, computational models of far-UVC inactivation, inactivation studies in liquid or on surfaces.

Bridge Program
Building Reassurance against eye Irritation and Discomfort under Germicidal-UV Exposure (BRIDGE)
Primary Purpose:
- Determine the levels, if any, at which irritation/discomfort is experienced under far-UVC exposure, and how quickly any such symptoms disappear after exposure
- Establish mechanism and cause of possible human eye irritation/discomfort under far-UVC exposure
- Develop satisfactory and sufficient models to predict possible far-UVC-induced effects that contribute to irritation/discomfort mechanisms in human eyes
