The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is offering this grant to establish a network of synergistic research teams focused on understanding the immune mechanisms governing virus infection and vaccination. This multi-project initiative aims to elucidate the key molecular and cellular immune responses involved in natural infection control, the induction of protective immunity through vaccination, or immune-mediated pathology. Applicants are encouraged to explore multiple viruses to uncover novel immune mechanisms and generalizable antiviral principles. The ultimate purpose of this grant is to discover and define fundamental immune mechanisms crucial for controlling viral infections, thereby identifying new targets for developing future vaccines and therapeutics.

| Description: | The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) invites multi-project applications to be part of a network of synergistic research teams focused on the immunological parameters of virus infection and vaccination that are important for understanding the key molecular and cellular immune mechanisms involved in the natural control of infection, the induction of protective immunity by vaccination, or the immune-mediated processes that cause pathology after virus infection or vaccination. Studies involving multiple viruses are encouraged to foster discovery of novel immune mechanisms and generalizable principles of anti-viral immunity. The viruses of interest to the Immune Mechanisms of Virus Control (IMVC) program are listed as part of the NIAID Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases (http://www.niaid.nih.gov/topics/emerging/Pages/list.aspx). The ultimate goal of this program is to discover and define novel basic immune mechanisms for controlling virus infections that will lead to new potential targets for developing future vaccines and therapeutics. |
