The purpose of this funding is to support research that will contribute to the overall understanding of vaccine safety.
This research opportunity encourages studies that address scientific areas potentially relevant to vaccine safety such as:
1) physiological and immunological responses to vaccines and vaccine components
2) how genetic variations affect immune/physiological responses that may impact vaccine safety
3) identification of risk factors and biological markers that may be used to assess whether there is a relationship between certain diseases or disorders and licensed vaccines
4) creation/evaluation of statistical methodologies for analyzing data on vaccine safety, including data available from existing data sources such as passive reporting systems or healthcare databases
5) the application of genomic/molecular technologies and systems biology approaches to evaluate vaccine safety.
( Clinical trials will not be supported.)
Eligibility: Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Institutions) are eligible to apply.
Budget: Budgets are not limited but need to reflect the actual needs of the proposed project.
Duration: The maximum project period is 5 years.
Deadline: October 5 2017
