Bio and AgroDefense Facility (NBAF) would allow researchers to study 
foreign animal diseases (FAD) and zoonotic diseases (transmitted from 
animals to humans) for basic research, improving diagnostic tests, and 
developing effective vaccines and other countermeasures such as 
antiviral therapies. DHS anticipates that the NBAF would focus 
biosafety level 3 agricultural (BSL3Ag) research on African swine 
fever, classical swine fever, contagious bovine pleuropneumonia, foot 
and mouth disease (FMD), Japanese encephalitis, and Rift Valley fever 
(RVF), as well as BSL4 research on Hendra and Nipah viruses. The NBAF 
would be approximately 500,000 to 520,000 square feet and consist of a 
primary laboratory building with a vaccine development laboratory 
adjacent or contiguous to it. The primary research building would

associated support spaces. The other laboratory building would b<script type="text/javascript">
