Understanding Immunity Grant

Summary:
This grant, funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), supports research on the fundamental mechanisms and outcomes of trained immunity, also known as innate immune memory. It excludes proposals involving clinical trials. The goal is to improve understanding of this emerging field and its potential implications for various aspects of immune function, including:

• Development and function of the immune system
• Vaccine and natural infection immunity
• Allergic diseases, autoimmune disorders, and organ/tissue/cell transplant rejection

Sponsor:
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)

Eligibility:

• Public and private institutions, including universities, hospitals, non-profit organizations, and for-profit organizations.

Benefits:

• Funding to support basic research projects exploring trained immunity.
• Opportunity to contribute to a growing field with potential implications for various immune-related conditions.
• Collaboration with the NIAID and the broader scientific community.

Deadline:
