Oral HIVacc: Oral Mucosal Immunization Approaches for HIV Prevention (R01)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits research projects to develop and test novel HIV vaccines for direct administration into oral lymphoid tissues to trigger protective, local and systemic immunity. Specifically, this FOA seeks research projects to: 1) define the mechanisms by which direct HIV vaccination of oral lymphoid tissues induce oral innate as well as local and systemic adaptive immune responses; 2) determine the mechanisms by which new adjuvants used together with oral HIV vaccine candidates enhance local and systemic immunity; 3) test innovative, oral vaccine vectors expressing HIV vaccine antigens to trigger protective immunity; 4) compare different HIV vaccine immunization strategies and schemes for the oral mucosa to maximize protection; and 5) delineate the role of dynamic changes in oral and immune cell subsets and their interactions to enhance immunity upon oral HIV vaccination.
