Hello Ms. Byrne,
Thank you so much for your response, and I truly appreciate your help on this request. I'm wondering if perhaps the phrasing of my request inadvertently resulted in a search that came up fruitless. According to the Mapp Biopharmaceutical website, two of their product development programs have been funded in part by USAMRIID (http://www.mappbio.com/productdevelopment.html). Perhaps this funding was not in the form of grants or any agreements were not referred to as "contracts" but rather as "terms and conditions" or by some such other terminology. If an amendment of my initial request would be more productive, I hope that I may make such a change.
Thank you again. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make this request more useful and easier to handle.
Best wishes,
Beryl C.D. Lipton

Mr. Lipton,
The phrasing of your request did result in a negative response. We do have contracts with Mapp Biopharmaceutical but they are not funded through grants. If you would like copies of those I can provide them once I review them.
