OpportunityTitle: Characterization of Mycobacterial Induced Immunity in HIV-infected and Uninfected Individuals (R21)
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Other Eligible Applicants include the following:  Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs); Eligible Agencies of the Federal Government; Faith-based or Community-based Organizations; Hispanic-serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized); Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations); Regional Organizations; Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs) ; U.S. Territory or Possession.
Description: The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support hypothesis-generating research on innate and adaptive immune responses induced by mycobacterial infection, Bacillus Calmette-Gurin vaccine (BCG), or other Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) vaccinations.Studies that include evaluation of immune responses by anatomical location in HIV-infected or uninfected individuals are of particular interest.A secondary objective of this FOA is development of new assays and technologies enabling comparison of mycobacterial-specific mucosal and systemic immunological pathways in HIV-infected or uninfected individuals that can be used to monitor immune responses in preclinical studies and vaccine trials to advance Mtb vaccine development.
