NIH Solicits Pilot Research Projects for Human Virome Program

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is inviting proposals for small pilot research projects as part of the Human Virome Program (HVP): - Government Buyer: - National Institutes of Health (NIH) - Scope of Work: - Support for pilot projects to validate, improve, and complement tools, models, and methods for studying the human virome - Projects may leverage human and animal specimens, expand cohorts and biospecimen sampling sites, and define virome-host interactions - Projects must be distinct from current HVP efforts and not overlap with existing work - Eligibility: - Open to government entities, educational institutions, nonprofits, and businesses - Products/Services Requested: - No specific commercial products, OEMs, or part numbers are specified - Focus is on scientific research services and tool/method development - Notable Requirements: - Projects are intended to be short-term and resource-limited (R03 mechanism) - Clinical trials are not allowed under this opportunity - Place of Performance: - National Institutes of Health (NIH)

Description

The Common Fund Human Virome Program (HVP) aims to extensively characterize the human virome and develop tools, models, and methods to study its variation and impact on health and disease. This funding opportunity supports small pilot projects that extend the goals of the HVP by validating and improving existing tools, leveraging human and animal specimens, expanding cohorts, and defining virome-host interactions. Projects should encourage collaboration and not overlap with existing HVP efforts. The R03 mechanism supports small research projects with limited resources and short durations.
