CCHI Awards Announced: January 27, 2023
CCHI Award Start Date: April 1, 2023
Overview
The CCHI Infrastructure and Opportunities Fund (IOF) encourages multi-center, multi-disciplinary collaborations in human immunology research. Special consideration will be provided to new investigators, those relatively new to human immunology research, and those from groups shown to be underrepresented in the biomedical workforce (NOT-OD-20-031).
These applications, which are capped at $103K Direct Costs, may include, but are not limited to:
- Discovery research: i.e., high risk/high impact
- Mechanistic Project: answer important mechanistic/functional questions
- Technology Development Project: broad and high impact
- Service Core Project: A specialized service provided to CCHI investigators. May involve training for technology transfer/collaboration
The CCHI IOF strives to support mechanistic and hypothesis-testing studies to understand human immunity (i.e. innate, adaptive and mucosal immune responses to infection, vaccination and adjuvants); immune-mediated diseases (e.g. airway allergy, food allergy, autoimmunity, organ transplant rejection); and basic human immunology, as these data will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the human immune system.
