In 2002, TARGET (Tuberculosis Animal Research and Gene Evaluation Taskforce) was formed in response to a request from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIH/NIAID) to enable the modeling of human tuberculosis in multiple animal species using defined protocols and testing defined mutants of M. tuberculosis
 
Since no single animal model reproduces all features of human tuberculosis, TARGET evaluates M. tuberculosis and M. tuberculosis mutants in mice, guinea pigs, and hollow fibers to assess their virulence and capacity to induce, for example, acute, latent, or progressive tuberculosis.
 

TARGET is accepting proposals for mutant testing in validated mouse, guinea pig, and hollow fiber models.
