Description: The goal of the IPCAVD Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is to facilitate the translation of sufficiently advanced, innovative and promising vaccine candidates into early clinical testing. The IPCAVD program is designed to enable a multi-disciplinary team of investigators to complete all steps necessary from down-selection of a vaccine candidate through CGMP manufacture/testing/product release and into clinical trials. A preclinical research application alone is not sufficient for this announcement. Awards will provide the critical resources to allow the advancement of vaccine concepts to clinical trials within the first 5 years of the award. The reduced support for two additional years will support ongoing stability studies, updating regulatory submissions and further optimization as informed from the clinical studies. However, this funding opportunity will not provide funds for conducting the clinical studies; applicants are encouraged to collaborate with NIAID-supported clinical trial networks or to develop other relationships to support the clinical studies. A clinical development plan describing means to initiate a clinical study during the first 5 years of award is a requirement of this FOA.
