UK Vaccine Network (UKVN) - National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) - Epidemiology for Vaccinology Competition
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). The UKVN 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. The UKVN has identified a range of human diseases with epidemic potential in LMICs for which the development of vaccines is a priority. The UKVN identified that, alongside the need for Vaccine Products, there is also a need for the development of epidemiological models, and for tools and technologies to assist with the deployment and clinical trialling of vaccines in outbreak situations in LMICs. DHSC worked alongside the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR)’s Central Commissioning Facility (CCF) to run a research competition to fund such research. The call was open to all eligible researchers that could demonstrate that their work was within the scope of the call and would positively support the welfare and economic development of LMICs. The funding supported projects seeking to develop epidemiological models, tools and technologies to assist with the deployment and clinical trialling of vaccines in outbreak situations in LMICs. The call was split into two parts: (1) Optimal Deployment of Vaccines in Outbreak Situations, to develop rigorous models for how priority diseases could spread in an outbreak setting; and (2) Development of other tools, technologies and methodologies to assist epidemiological work in outbreak settings.
