The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) offers a grant focusing on understanding immune mechanisms involved in controlling virus infections and developing vaccines. This grant supports research teams studying various viruses to discover novel immune mechanisms and principles of anti-viral immunity. The ultimate aim is to identify potential targets for future vaccine and therapeutic development. Applications for the Immune Mechanisms of Virus Control (IMVC) program are welcomed until April 16, 2013.

| Agency Name:: | National Institutes of Health |
| 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. |
