Overview

The CCHI Infrastructure and Opportunity Fund Management Core is soliciting applications from CCHI centers to capitalize on emerging opportunities and we encourage multi-center, multi-disciplinary collaborations in human immunology research. The immediate objective of the CCHI is to support mechanistic and hypothesis-testing studies to discover novel molecules, mechanisms, or regulatory pathways governing function of the human immune system. Studies of interest could be immunity related to prevention or treatment of infectious diseases, immune-mediated pathogenesis/sequelae associated with infectious disease, and/or immune-mediated diseases.

These applications, which are capped at $150K Direct Costs, may be, but are not limited to:

  • Each CCHI center may submit up to two (2) scientific research Applications, such as:
    • Discovery research (i.e. high risk/high impact)
    • Mechanistic project – answer important mechanistic/function questions
    • Technology development project – broad and high impact
  • Service core or educational/training course applications will be accepted that serve the needs of multiple CCHI centers and will not count against the 2-application limit of any Center
