RFA-AT-07-004: Mechanisms of Immune Modulation
Sponsors: NCCAM and the National Cancer Institute. This reissue of an announcement from July 2006 is for studies that use state-of-the-art research approaches to investigate mechanisms of action in CAM therapies believed to have effects on immune function. Such therapies may be used with the intent to maintain wellness, reverse the immune decline that often occurs with aging, and prevent the immune suppression that occurs with certain diseases such as cancer and HIV/AIDS. Other potential roles for the therapies include enhancing vaccine responses and supporting defense against biowarfare agents.
