Grant Description

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), is to encourage applications from institutions/organizations proposing innovative, high risk, high impact research to identify novel vaccine concepts and targets that will aid in the design and development of an effective immunogen that may provide long-term protection from acquisition of HIV. The emphasis of this FOA is early discovery research that incorporates new ideas leading to the development of new conventional or outside-the-box approaches for vaccines that may have significant impact on the design of novel immunogens or immunization strategies for an effective HIV vaccine. The program is open to established and new investigators and does not require research expertise in HIV prevention as a prerequisite for submitting an application.
