Consortia for AIDS Vaccine Research in Nonhuman Primates (P01) – This FOA issued by the NIAID, NIH, solicits applications that propose to establish a collaborative, multidisciplinary research program to investigate viral and host events that occur at the earliest stages of mucosal infection of nonhuman primates (NHP) with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), and to identify vaccines and vaccine-induced immune responses that can block initial infection, prevent establishment of systemic infection, or significantly reduce pathogenic effects of SIV infection. This FOA will use the NIH Program Project (P01) Research grant mechanism. A FOA of similar overall scientific scope but with a different approach, RFA-AI-10-001, is soliciting applications using the NIH Research Project (R01) mechanism. Applicants are urged to apply to one or the other FOA, but not both. Total Funding: $5M. Eligibility: All. LOI Receipt Date: October 1, 2010. Application Due Date: November 3, 2010.
