Description: Purpose. This FOA, issued by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH), solicits research grant applications from institutions/organizations that propose prophylactic vaccine research projects that are innovative, novel, may be high risk/high impact, and that exhibit the potential to advance AIDS prophylactic vaccine design or evaluation. All areas of investigation contributing to the development of an efficacious HIV/AIDS vaccine are welcome. Clinical trials will not be supported under this initiative. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Phased Innovation Award (R21/R33) grant mechanism; Phase I = Exploratory R21/Phase II = Developmental R33. Awards will support milestone-driven exploratory/feasibility proof of concept studies (2 year R21 phase), with possible rapid transition to expanded development (2-3 year R33 phase). Initially funded R21 studies will be evaluated over two years for milestone completion, and R21s that have met defined milestones will be considered for the R33 award.
