SUMMARY:DARPA Assessing Immune Memory (AIM) call for proposals

CATEGORIES:Conferences - Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Amount:\nThe proposed costs must be realistic for the technica
 l and management approach and accurately reflect the technical goals and o
 bjectives of the solicitation.  These costs are consistent with the propo
 ser's Statement of Work and reflect a sufficient understanding of the cost
 s and level of effort needed to successfully accomplish the proposed techn
 ical approach.\n\nDuration:\n48 months\n\nAim:\nMilitary service members r
 ely on effective vaccination for the prevention of communicable disease as
  well as to guard against biothreat exposure. Many current vaccines lack d
 urability (i.e.\, do not provide effective protection over long periods of
  time)\, and there are multiple pathogens and threats that lack prophylact
 ic options altogether. It is currently impossible to predict vaccine durab
 ility from early response profiles\, largely owing to ignorance of mechani
 sms underlying immune memory as well as an inability to measure the cellul
 ar contributors that invoke long-lasting immune protection. Formation of i
 mmune memory is a complex physiological process characterized by a diverse
  array of cellular interactions and signaling processes. AIM seeks to deve
 lop a platform capability to predict immune memory informed by a systems-l
 evel view of the host response to vaccination and its mechanisms.\n\nEligi
 bility:\n\n	All responsible sources capable of satisfying the Government
 ’s needs may submit a proposal that shall be considered by DARPA.\n	Non-
 U.S. organizations and/or individuals may participate to the extent that s
 uch participants\n	comply with any necessary nondisclosure agreements\, se
 curity regulations\, export control laws\,\n	and other governing statutes 
 applicable under the circumstances.\n\nHow to apply:\n\nAgency Contact:\nT
