This grant opportunity supports research focused on understanding how hosts interact with pathogens and how specific immune responses occur at mucosal sites, where infections frequently start. It seeks projects that explore infection-induced immunity, identify host targets, and develop vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, or therapies that target the host. Applicants should leverage recent advancements in mucosal biology, infection immunology, microbiome research, and technologies like genetic e… Show More

This NOSI encourages comprehensive research efforts to better understand host-pathogen interactions and pathogen-specific immunity at mucosal sites, including infection-induced mucosal immunity at the site of infection, host target identification, antigen or immunogen discovery, and design and t… Show More
