Description

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications proposing innovative, high risk, high impact research to identify novel HIV vaccine concepts and targets. A further focus is to answer important scientific questions that will aid in the design and development of an effective immunogen that may provide long-term safe protection from either acquisition of or ongoing infection by HIV. Thus, this FOA aims to support early discovery research by supporting the testing of novel hypotheses and approaches, and to reward initial success with continued funding that is dependent upon achieving applicant-proposed and pre-award negotiated Go/No-Go criteria by the year-2 progress report.
