Research and Development of Vaccines and Monoclonal Antibodies for Pandemic Preparedness (ReVAMPP) Network - Coordination and Data Sharing Center (CDSC) (UG3/UH3 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Background
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) supports complementary research programs to understand, control and prevent viral diseases and related pandemics. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit applications for a Coordination and Data Sharing Center (CDSC) for the Research and Development of Vaccines and Monoclonal Antibodies for Pandemic Preparedness (ReVAMPP) Network. The ReVAMMP Centers, supported by separate companion NOFOs, will consist of multi-project cooperative agreements that establish comprehensive, cooperative basic, and translational research Centers to carry out in-depth research on prototype members of select virus families that have the potential to emerge as pandemic pathogens. Together the CDSC and ReVAMPP Centers will form the ReVAMPP Network.

Grant Details
The CDSC is expected to establish and maintain a collaborative ReVAMPP Network platform for data sharing as needed to harmonize reagents, assays, animal models and exchange knowledge on structure/function-based vaccine solutions and antigen/immunogen design as well as assess the utility of vaccine technology platforms for virus families studied under the ReVAMPP Centers.

The CDSC is also expected to facilitate effective communications across the ReVAMPP Centers by scheduling, and managing all meetings, tracking overall network progress and outputs, developing opportunities for collaboration among the Centers such as establishing working groups, and under the direction of NIAID, collating information and facilitating exchange with other NIAID/NIH programs, U.S. Government (USG) partners, and other key stakeholders.

Eligibility Requirements
Eligible applicants include higher education institutions, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) IRS status, for-profit organizations, state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Federally Recognized), federal government agencies, U.S. Territory or Possession entities, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments), faith-based or community-based organizations.

Period of Performance
The project period is 5 years.

Grant Value
~$2M in FY2023 to fund 1 award. Application budgets are not expected to exceed $1.5M in direct costs per year.
