UK Vaccine Network (UKVN) - Innovate UK - Preclinical Vaccine Development Competition (2017-2021)
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 collaborated with Innovate UK to run a competition to support the preclinical development of candidate vaccines and vaccine platform technologies which aim to tackle diseases of epidemic potential in LMICs. The project was run across two phases, with successful projects in the first phase invited to apply for follow on funding. The competition was open to all organisations that were able to demonstrate that their product or work has a realistic route to market, whether in the short or long term, and where research was conducted primarily for the benefit of LMICs. Following the initial stage of funding, successful projects were invited to apply for follow on funding to support continued development of the vaccine products, including early-stage clinical work. This funding aimed to progress the development of vaccines for these priority diseases, ultimately to support an effective and rapid response during future outbreaks of disease. The programme builds on learnings from concurrently run UKVN-Innovate UK competitions - the UKVN Clinical Vaccine Development Competition 2018-2021, and the UKVN Innovate Vaccine Development Competition 2017-2020. This was done to ensure promising technology is awarded follow on funding and can progress further along the developmental pathway. This project was not put out to an open, competitive tender process because, as a non-departmental public body of the UK government, Innovate UK is uniquely positioned to manage research calls.
