Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity "Consortia for AIDS Vaccine Research in Nonhuman Primates (P01)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-AI-10-004) is a National Institutes of Health program run through the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Its central aim is to build a coordinated, team-based research effort focused on what happens immediately after exposure to simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) in nonhuman primates, especially at mucosal surfaces where infection often begins. The scientific emphasis is on understanding the earliest viral and host events that drive whether infection takes hold, then using that knowledge to identify vaccines and vaccine-driven immune responses capable of stopping infection at the start, preventing systemic spread, or at least meaningfully reducing the harmful (pathogenic) consequences of SIV infection. In practical terms, the FOA is looking for applicants who can connect mechanistic studies of early mucosal transmission and immune defense with vaccine concepts that can be tested in relevant nonhuman primate models, producing results that inform HIV vaccine development more broadly.
This opportunity uses the NIH Program Project Grant (P01) mechanism, which is designed for large, integrated projects made up of multiple interrelated research components under a unified scientific theme. The P01 structure is meant to support consortia-style work: multidisciplinary teams that can bring together expertise such as mucosal immunology, virology, vaccinology, animal model science, and immunologic assay development, and then coordinate those capabilities to answer linked questions that would be difficult to tackle through a single-project grant. The announcement also points out that a separate but related FOA with similar overall scientific scope exists under an R01 mechanism (RFA-AI-10-001). Applicants are explicitly encouraged to apply to one or the other, but not both, signaling that NIAID wanted proposals aligned with the scale and collaborative design of the selected mechanism rather than duplicate submissions across mechanisms.
In terms of funding, NIAID planned to commit about $5.0 million in total costs in fiscal year 2011 for this program, with an expectation of funding one or two awards. The language also notes that awards depend on the availability of funds, which is standard for federal grant announcements but important for planning since it means the final number of awards and total dollars could shift based on appropriations and competing priorities.
The FOA is categorized as a discretionary grant in the health area and is associated with CFDA numbers 93.855 (Allergy, Immunology and Transplantation Research) and 93.856 (Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic and non-domestic organizations. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and a range of governmental entities such as state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts. The FOA also includes tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, U.S. territories or possessions, and a variety of institution types and community-based entities, including historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, and faith-based or community-based organizations. It also allows non-U.S. (foreign) organizations and regional organizations, and notes that eligible federal agencies may apply as well.
Key administrative dates show the FOA was posted on April 1, 2010, with an original and current closing date of November 3, 2010, and an archive date of December 4, 2010. For applicants or readers seeking the full original announcement details, the FOA provided an NIH link to the full text and included contact information through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for access or technical linking problems.
