Details:
The mission of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is to conduct and support basic and applied research to better understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases. To accomplish its mission, NIAID conducts and supports a comprehensive portfolio of research on the biology and pathogenesis of microbes; host-microbe interactions; the mechanisms of normal immune system development and function across the lifespan, and/or in response to infectious pathogens; immune dysfunction resulting in allergy, asthma, autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, and transplant rejection; and translational research to develop vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics to prevent and treat infectious, immune-mediated, and allergic diseases that afflict people throughout the world.
Purpose
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites Program Project applications (P01) that address the mission of NIAID as outlined in the Background section above. Investigators are encouraged to visit the NIAID website for additional information about the research mission and high-priority research areas of the NIAID.
The purpose of Program Project (P01) grants is to support integrated, multi-project research programs that have a well-defined, central research focus or objective. The P01 application must include a minimum of two individual research projects that contribute to the program objective. Each individual research project should reflect a distinct, separate, scientifically meritorious research effort led by an independent investigator, the Project Leader. In addition, the individual projects should be clearly interrelated and synergistic so that the research ideas, efforts, and outcomes of the program as a whole will offer a distinct advantage over pursuing the individual projects separately.
Grant Period
The maximum project period is 5 years.
