Pilot Projects to Enhance the Human Virome Program
Funds short pilot projects using samples and tools from NIH's Human Virome Program to study the body's viral ecosystem.
NIH's Common Fund Human Virome Program is building a comprehensive picture of the viruses that live in and on the human body, and the tools to study them. This notice funds small pilot projects that extend that picture rather than start a new one.
Five kinds of pilot work are named: validating, improving or complementing tools already built under the Human Virome Program, using specimens from the…
Small pilot projects extending NIH's Common Fund Human Virome Program — validating or improving programme tools using human or animal specimens, expanding existing cohorts and biospecimen sites, developing new virome study tools and methods, and characterising virome-host interactions — expected to expand the HVP consortium and not overlap with the programme's existing work.
