The Infant Immune System: Implications for Vaccines and Response to Infections (R01): The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) invites applications from institutions and organizations to define mechanisms for establishing and maintaining immunity in infants (0-12 months of age) after infection with or vaccination against infectious agents that cause diseases in this vulnerable population (i.e. childhood infections). The goal of this FOA is to improve our understanding of immune defense mechanisms in infants in order to improve their immune status in the long term. In order to encourage highly innovative studies, extensive preliminary data or a proven track record in neonatal immunology is not required. Research with human cells and tissues is encouraged, although studies using appropriately justified infant animal models are acceptable.
