Immune Mechanisms of Virus Control (U01/U19): -Purpose. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) invites new applications from single institutions and consortia of institutions to participate in the Immune Mechanisms of Virus Control program. The goals of this initiative are to: 1) establish a network of synergistic research teams focused on basic immunological parameters of virus infection, mechanisms of virus-induced inflammation, and protective vaccination; and 2) to discover and define novel basic immune mechanisms for controlling virus infections that will lead to new potential targets for developing future vaccines and therapeutics. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the Cooperative Agreement (U01) and multi-project Cooperative Agreement (U19) grant mechanisms. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. It is anticipated that $14 million per year will be available for 7-15 new awards in FY 2009. An additional $1 million will be available in a Discretionary Fund to support exploratory pilot research projects that propose projects that capitalize on emerging opportunities. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
