The International Veterinary Vaccinology Network (IVVN) invites applications for the Pump-Priming Grants for early career researchers in 2019.
The International Veterinary Vaccinology Network (IVVN) aims to promote vaccine research and development against livestock pathogens that cause diseases significant to low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs). The remit of the IVVN includes all species that are of agricultural significance in LMICs including (but not limited to) poultry, aquaculture, ruminants and swine with an emphasis on molecular and cellular biology work relevant to vaccine development. Key aims of the IVVN are to bring together partners from academia, industry and other sectors, and to form partnerships between researchers based in the UK and LMICs.
Worth of Award
Pump-Priming Grants are up to £100,000 in value and project proposals should be from collaborative teams of IVVN members which address key bottlenecks preventing vaccine development.
Eligibility
- Pump-priming projects should aim to address a key bottleneck preventing the development of a vaccine, and will be awarded via competitive application to the IVVN Network Management Board.
- Applicants must be members of the IVVN (free membership is available), and they particularly welcome applications from members who are Early Career Researchers and/or based in LMICs and/or female researchers.
- Please note all applications must contain a UK-based applicant.
- Please read the IVVN Pump-Priming Guidance notes before applying.
How to Apply
- Both of these are fantastic opportunities to accelerate your vaccine research and they look forward to receiving your applications.
- Please send completed application form and associated documents to IVVN Network Manager Dr Carly Hamilton at [email protected] by 9am on the deadline
- Please direct all queries relating to each of the calls to IVVN Network Manager, Dr Carly Hamilton, at [email protected].
