The Department of Health is offering a grant to advance the rational design of vaccines against hepatitis C virus (HCV). This grant aims to support the development of new candidate HCV vaccines by understanding the structural basis for immunological protection and identifying correlates of HCV protection. Researchers will utilize samples from existing human cohorts and vaccine studies to design and evaluate vaccines for their immunogenicity and efficacy in animal models. Applicants are invited to propose innovative strategies that contribute to the development and assessment of prophylactic HCV vaccines, with the goal of inducing protective immune responses. Closing date for applications is Jun 15, 2020.

| Description: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support novel strategies for the rational design of vaccines against hepatitis C virus (HCV), to assess the vaccines for their ability to induce protective immune responses, and to select candidates for preclinical development and clinical testing. To this end, it will be critical to advance knowledge of the structural basis for broad immunological protection, and to elucidate correlates of HCV protection by leveraging samples from existing human cohorts and vaccine studies. This information will serve as a guide for the construction of new and improved candidate prophylactic HCV vaccines that will be assessed for immunogenicity and efficacy in appropriate animal models. |
