djohn, interesting, listed under Utah State research support is Bavi by another name: HDTRA1-08-C-0003 (B. Friemark/B. Gowen - PI)
07/1/08 - 06/30/11Department of Defense, Defense Threat Reduction Agency Anti-Phosphatidylserine Antibodies as Therapeutics for Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Infections. Looks like DOD is taking it underground. As I fretted before, DTRA/DOD already knows what it needs to know about Bavi, about whether it is worth pursuing, and that's what PPHM was establishing last year. This year USGov Bavi money might be going to clinical research facilities for human trials, and a lot of it probably secret. After the classified info is sorted out hope growth of the civilian anti-cancer leg of Bavi treatment is not cut short. Not getting a government contract is not always bad, and not always an indictment on product. We've had time to adjust to the reality and see that the company will carry on. I will be pleasantly surprised if the contract is renewed.
