GLRCE Career Development RFA Issued
We are pleased to announce that there will be funds available this funding year to promote the career of one junior faculty member in the Great Lakes region. The career development program is designed to identify projects that will strengthen our center’s focus on vaccines, therapeutics, and/or adjuvants against NIAID Category A, B and C Priority Pathogens and Emerging Infectious Disease Agents.
For more information, please see the complete RFA.
GLRCE Development Project RFA Issued
Funds will also be available to support Development Projects in the forthcoming funding year. The GLRCE Developmental Projects Program will support innovative research that will contribute to the development of new vaccines, therapeutics and/or adjuvants against biological agents from the NIAID Category A, B & C Priority Pathogens and EID while advancing basic knowledge on the mechanisms of disease and/or immunity to disease.
For more information, please see the complete RFA.
BRCs and Portal
The Bioinformatics Resource Centers (BRCs) are sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to support the biomedical research community's work on infectious diseases. Each of the four centers specializes in a different group of pathogens including:
- PATRIC (PathoSystems Resource Integration Center) : all bacterial species
- ViPR (Virus Pathogen Resource) : all viral families
- EuPathDB (Eukaryotic Pathogen Database Resources) : all eukaryotic pathogen species
- VectorBase : invertebrate vectors of human pathogens
- BRC's Portal, Pathogen Portal, is a repository linking to all BRCs
GLRCE researchers will conduct collaborative research in the new Howard T. Ricketts Regional Biocontainment Laboratory being constructed by the University of Chicago at Argonne National Laboratory. More information about the lab can be found here.
Information about other NIH/NIAID funded RCEs may be found here.
New PHS 398 Forms from the NIH (mandatory as of May 2008)
