Description

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support studies characterizing the genetic, epigenetic, and/or immunological correlates of protection against tuberculosis infection in highly-exposed but resistant individuals, and the interaction of these correlates with HIV infection. Studies may include identification of underlying genetic or epigenetic factors, as well as characteristics of the innate immune system and related regulatory genes and signaling pathways that play a role in protection from latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI).Multidisciplinary collaboration is encouraged, incorporating clinical studies coupled with functional experiments using samples and data from well-defined cohorts.
