Description

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit applications to form a Leadership Group for an Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Consortium, hereafter referred to as the Leadership Group (LG), to support the planning and implementation of clinical research that addresses the scientific priorities of NIAID in evaluating vaccines, other preventive biologics, therapeutics, diagnostics, including prognostic and predictive markers, and devices for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. A companion FOA solicits Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Units (VTEUs), which will provide the scientific, administrative expertise and infrastructure to implement the clinical research. Although the scientific focus will be on malaria/neglected tropical diseases, sexually transmitted infections, respiratory infections, and enteric diseases, the LG and VTEU will work collaboratively to monitor, identify and adjust research priorities based on potential emerging infectious diseases.
