Consortia for Structure-based Immunogen Design for HIV (CSID-HIV)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a funding opportunity titled "Consortia for Structure-based Immunogen Design for HIV (CSID-HIV)" aimed at advancing research in the design of HIV immunogens that can induce broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb) responses. This initiative seeks to support coordinated multidisciplinary efforts to overcome critical challenges in immunogen design, ultimately facilitating the development of safe and effective HIV therapeutics and vaccines. The funding will be provided through a cooperative agreement, with no cost-sharing or matching requirements, and is open to a diverse range of eligible applicants, including tribal governments, federal agencies, and community-based organizations. Interested parties should contact Dr. Stuart Z. Shapiro at sshapiro@niaid.nih.gov or call 240-292-6155 for further information. The estimated project start date is January 1, 2027, with a synopsis close date of April 14, 2026.
