HIV Vaccine Vector-Host Interactions: Understanding the Biology and Immunology (R21)

Funding Opportunity PA-14-214 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support increased understanding of the biology and immunology of natural viral infections and HIV vaccine vectors. Applications should focus on four vaccine viral vector platforms developed from Adenoviridae, Poxviridae, Herpesviridae, or Adeno-associated viruses in humans or non-human primates (NHPs). Goals of the research include the development of improved safety models to assess the potential vaccine-related effects such as increased HIV infection rates due to immune activated vector-specific HIV target cells (e.g. CD4+ T-cells).
