HIV/AIDS Vaccines Study Section [VACC]

[VACC Membership Roster] [VACC Meeting Rosters]

The HIV/AIDS Vaccines [VACC] Study Section reviews applications concerned with all aspects of development of vaccines against HIV and related retroviruses. The specific topics covered by VACC are:

Identification of potential vaccine epitopes or immunogens.
Design and development of different types of candidate immunogens.
Delivery and formulation approaches, including use of live attenuated vectors and novel adjuvants, to target specific immune responses or augment immunogenicity.
New and improved methodologies to assess vaccine–induced immune responses, including the development or improvement of animal models for vaccine testing.
Assessment of safety, efficacy and correlates of protection of candidate vaccines in animal models and humans.

Study sections with most closely related areas of similar science listed in rank order are:
