UK Vaccine Network (UKVN) - UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) - Vaccine Technology Development
Project disclaimer
Description
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded UKaid project from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)’s UK Vaccine Network (UKVN) which supports the development of vaccines and vaccine technology for infectious diseases with the potential to cause an epidemic in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), focusing on areas of market failure. UKVN has identified a range of human diseases with epidemic potential in LMICs for which the development of vaccines is a priority. UKVN funded the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to deliver a programme of seven projects that will advance vaccine development for diseases of epidemic potential for the benefit of people in LMICs. The projects cover a range of pathogens, which have been identified as being a priority area of investment due to lack of current vaccine availability and likelihood of epidemic threat. The projects are primarily focused on enabling activities, such as preclinical model or assay development, to support the development of vaccine candidates for priority pathogens, including through increasing the range of settings where vaccine development and evaluation can take place without a need for higher-containment facilities, which will support future work in LMICs. This project was not put out to an open, competitive tender process because UKHSA is an executive agency of DHSC with a mandate to deliver on pandemic preparedness and therefore exempt from the tender process as it is within DHSC’s body of expertise.
