Description: Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institute of Health (NIH), solicits applications that propose to establish a collaborative, multidisciplinary research program to investigate viral and host events that occur at the earliest stages of mucosal infection of nonhuman primates (NHP) with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), and to identify vaccines and vaccine-induced immune responses that can block initial infection, prevent establishment of systemic infection, or significantly reduce pathogenic effects of SIV infection. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Program Project (P01) Research grant mechanism. A FOA of similar overall scientific scope but with a different approach, RFA-AI-10-001, is soliciting applications using the NIH Research Project (R01) mechanism. Applicants are urged to apply to one or the other FOA, but not both. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. NIAID intends to commit approximately $5.0M in total costs in FY 2011 to fund one or two applications submitted in response to this FOA. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds.
