The proposed Programs should address scientific areas relevant to the NIAID mission including: biology and pathogenesis of infectious microbes, including HIV; host-microbe interactions; mechanisms regulating immune system development and function across the lifespan, and in response to infectious pathogens; immune dysfunction resulting in allergy, asthma, autoimmunity, immunodeficiency, or transplant rejection; and translational research to develop vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics to prevent and treat infectious and immune-mediated diseases. Each application submitted to this NOFO must include at least two related, synergistic Research Projects that share a common central theme, focus, and/or overall objective; and an Administrative Core. An application may include Scientific Core(s), if needed for the proposed research.
