Pilot Projects to Enhance the Human Virome Program (R03, Clinical Trials Not Allowed)
Purpose: Fund pilot projects that expand, complement, or improve tools, models, and methods to characterize the human virome (both eukaryotic viruses and bacteriophages) and its interactions with human hosts and the microbiome, with the long-term aim of informing human health.
Why now: Advances in metagenomic sequencing and bioinformatics make it possible to deeply pro…
The human virome is defined as a collection of all viruses that are found in or on humans, including both eukaryotic and prokaryotic (bacteriophages) viruses and viral particles. Excluding the relatively small number of viruses that are the causative agents of some clinical diseases, the virome …
