The National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (abbreviated NFID) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public and medical community about infectious diseases.
In early 1973, several individuals there had the idea of creating a non-governmental organization to raise awareness of, and help develop treatments for, infectious diseases.
Later that year, the NFID was created, originally as a non-profit corporation based in Virginia.
[2] The original founders of the NFID included John P. Utz[3] and Richard J. Duma,[4] who served as the organization's first and second president, respectively.
