This National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant opportunity promotes fundamental research aimed at understanding the mechanisms by which vaccines against infectious agents confer long-lasting protective immunity. The initiative supports studies defining the specific immune system components and pathways crucial for vaccine durability. This grant is for researchers proposing to decipher human immune responses elicited through vaccination, primarily through the use of human cells and tissues. Animal studies are also permissible to elucidate mechanistic pathways that are challenging to investigate using human samples alone. The overarching purpose is to improve our scientific understanding of how to achieve and maintain durable vaccine-induced protection.

| Description: | The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to promote research to improve our understanding of how vaccines against infectious agents lead to durable protective immunity. This initiative will support studies that define components and mechanisms of the immune system that determine such durability. Applications must propose the use of human cells/tissues to decipher the human response elicited through vaccination. Animal studies also may be included to elucidate mechanistic pathways not easily accomplished with human samples. |
