Conference for Early Stage HIV/AIDS Vaccine Researchers (R13)

Limited Submissions

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages Research Conference Grant (R13) applications to conduct intensive workshop/conference/meeting(s) that address the needs of early stage HIV/AIDS vaccine researchers as they translate preclinical research from nonhuman primates (NHPs) to human clinical trials. The objectives of the meeting supported by this FOA are to provide these early stage HIV/AIDS vaccine researchers with guidance on conducting preclinical research to inform HIV vaccine strategies for clinical trials and developing skills related to networking, work-life balance, grantsmanship, and goal/milestone-oriented projects. Conference topics should include, but not be limited to: critical aspects of human vaccine development, including statistical considerations, host genetics and others; methods to translate the results of NHP challenge studies to clinical trials in humans; and methods to develop milestone-driven projects.
