    PanARMENIAN.Net - The U.S. program to strengthen Armenia's biological
    threat reduction capabilities will receive support from the Southern
    Research Institute.

    According to the United Press International, Southern Research said
    the work will be performed under a subcontract from Black and Veatch.

    The award is expected to generate up to $580,000 for Southern Research
    over the next year.

    "We are honored that Black and Veatch has again selected our Southern
    Research team to provide support for such an important global program,"
    said John A. "Jack" Secrist III, president and chief executive officer
    of Southern Research.

    "Working with Black and Veatch allows Southern Research to use our
    unique knowledge and expertise in helping to provide global safety
    and advancing critical research."

    "Southern Research will provide a wide range of scientific
    consulting in the design of operational strategies to enhance disease
    surveillance and response," said Mary Guttieri, program manager for
    Southern Research. "Additionally, Southern Research will facilitate
    collaborative research between U.S.-Armenian interdisciplinary teams
    and will administer bio-safety training."

    Southern Research said it will continue to work with Black and Veatch
    on enhancement of disease detection and reporting in the Ukraine, where
    achievements include construction of a high-containment laboratory
    and development of a bio-safety level-3 training program.

    This experience will contribute to the success of program objectives
    in Armenia.

    The program to strengthen Armenia's human and veterinary biological
    threat reduction capabilities and public health system is a program
    of the U.S. Department of Defense Threat Reduction Agency.
