Okay. And so just to sort of ask about the whole coronavirus epidemic that's going on right now. Given your guys' relationship with the CDC and now the NIH, of course, do you guys foresee contracts coming down for -- to do research studies related to the coronavirus in the near term that you think could be accretive to revenues?

We do. We know that some of our customers in both of those areas, quite frankly, are looking at their roles and what -- they are doing some things in-house right now and talking with us and some of our peer companies with regard to potentially some new contracts in that arena. There's -- in some cases, the -- our customers are still working in a somewhat competitive role with folks in the World Health Organization. So they're still trying to rationalize who's on first for a few of those things.
Our new -- our recent IDIQ award happens to put us in a pretty good space with regard to the emergency response type of work, such as this. So we're really hopeful that we should see something in the not-too-distant future to support that.
