The Department of Health and Human Services, through the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), is soliciting proposals for the "NextGen Oral Formulation Vaccines for COVID-19" under the Rapid Response Partnership Vehicle (RRPV) Consortium. The objective of this initiative is to advance oral vaccine platforms and technologies into a proof-of-concept Phase 1 clinical trial, enhancing understanding of their potential and improving COVID-19 solutions to bolster preparedness against future health security threats. This effort is critical in the ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic and aims to develop innovative vaccine solutions. Interested parties should note that the proposal submission deadline has been extended to November 15, 2024, and can contact Rebecca Harmon at rebecca.harmon@ati.org for further information.
