Description: The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement is to solicit applications for the Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Units (VTEUs) to implement clinical site protocols (clinical research, clinical trials) for evaluating vaccines, other preventive biologics, therapeutics, diagnostics, including prognostic and predictive markers, and devices for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases as part of NIAID Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Consortium (IDCRC). A companion FOA solicits applications for the Leadership Group for the Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Consortium, hereafter referred to as the Leadership Group (LG), which provides for overall administrative and scientific leadership for the clinical research and clinical trials conducted. While the primary scientific focus will be on product evaluation for NIAID priority areas, including malaria/neglected tropical diseases, sexually transmitted infections, respiratory infections, and enteric diseases, the VTEUs must also provide surge capacity to address emerging infectious diseases
