Accelerating Research and Development of Next Generation Malaria Vaccines Against Malaria – A Model for Mosquito-Borne Diseases

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seeks to support basic research, discovery, and/or preclinical development of highly efficacious vaccines for malaria and potentially other mosquito-borne illness. The program will encourage novel approaches to vaccine design that capitalize on recent technological innovations including structure-based immunogen design, and/or combination vaccines to reduce parasite infection and/or reduce malaria disease burden. Grant authorities that allow NIAID to forecast this opportunity are as follows: Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 241 and 284) and under Federal Regulations 42 CFR Part 52 and 2 CFR Part 200.
