Valley Fever Solutions Inc (VFS) has been awarded $3 million from the National Institutes for Health (NIH) to continue the commercialization of nikkomycin Z (NikZ), a potentially curative therapy for Valley Fever.

Starting this week, the funds will be administered over the next three-years by the National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities, one of the institutes and centers of the NIH.
