Research and Development of Vaccines and Monoclonal Antibodies for Pandemic Preparedness (ReVAMPP) Centers for Bunyavirales, Paramyxoviridae and Picornaviridae (U19 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

ID: RFA-AI-23-020 • Type: Posted

Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications from single institutions or consortia of institutions to participate in the Research and Development of Vaccines and Monoclonal Antibodies for Pandemic Preparedness (ReVAMPP) Network. The purpose of this FOA is to establish comprehensive, cooperative basic and translational research Centers to carry out in-depth research on prototype members of select virus families that have the potential to emerge as pandemic pathogens. The goal of these Centers will be to develop vaccine and monoclonal antibody strategies for prototype pathogen(s) that can be applied to closely related family members based on shared functional and structural properties. This FOA solicits for centers proposing research on virus families from Bunyavirales, Paramyxoviridae and Picornaviridae to be part of the ReVAMPP Network.
Background
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) supports complementary research programs to understand, control, and prevent viral diseases and related pandemics. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to establish comprehensive, cooperative basic and translational research Centers to carry out in-depth research on prototype members of select virus families that have the potential to emerge as pandemic pathogens. The goal of these Centers will be to develop vaccine and monoclonal antibody strategies for prototype pathogen(s) that can be applied to closely related family members based on shared functional and structural properties.

Grant Details
The objective of this FOA is to establish multidisciplinary research Centers focused on in-depth basic and translational research on prototype members of certain virus families that have the potential to emerge as pandemic pathogens, namely Paramyxoviridae, Picornaviridae, and Bunyavirales including Arenaviridae, Hantaviridae, Nairoviridae, Phenuiviridae, and Peribunyaviridae. The major goal of these Centers will be to develop vaccine strategies for prototype pathogens that can be applied to other closely related family members based on shared functional and structural properties. Each Center will encompass a multi-project multidisciplinary research program that employs innovative virology, structural biology, and immunology to identify strategies for vaccine design.

Eligibility Requirements
Eligible applicants include higher education institutions, nonprofits, for-profit organizations, state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Federally Recognized), Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized), eligible agencies of the Federal Government, U.S. Territory or Possession, foreign institutions, and non-domestic components of U.S. Organizations. Foreign entities are also eligible to apply.

Period of Performance
The project period should not exceed 5 years. The earliest start date is June 08, 2023.

Grant Value
NIAID intends to commit approximately $70-85M in FY2024 to fund 5-6 awards. Application budgets are not expected to exceed $10M direct costs/year.
