Description: The purpose of the FOA is to solicit proposals for conducting influenza transmission studies in humans to ascertain the relative contribution of different modes of influenza virus transmission among humans, further define the duration of viral shedding, and better understand influenza virus environmental contamination and how these factors contribute to human transmission. Studies that propose exposure of humans to vaccine strains from live attenuated influenza vaccine or inactive vaccines would be considered unresponsive to this FOA.
