Description: The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to stimulate research focused on the discovery of mechanisms that mediate effective antigen-specific memory T cell responses in the female reproductive tract (FRT). The ultimate goal is to develop the knowledge base needed to develop future vaccines that elicit effective and durable T cell responses against infection by HIV and other viral pathogens in the FRT. This FOA is intended to support innovative basic research efforts and is not intended to support the preclinical or clinical development of vaccine candidates or adjuvants. A similar concept was previously released as PA-12-104, and applicants are urged to read this FOA carefully, since there are differences that could alter responsiveness. Investigators with the appropriate expertise, but not currently in the HIV field are encouraged to apply.
