New Partners Initiative Translational HIV Research for Innovative Vaccines Ecosystem (NPI THRIVE)

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications for cooperative agreements from qualified entities to implement activities under the Translational HIV Research for Innovative Vaccines Ecosystem (NPI THRIVE) Program. NPI-THRIVE is a New Partnerships Initiative (NPI) Activity, meaning it encourages the use of innovative, locally-led approaches with new, nontraditional, and local partners. Eligibility for these awards is not restricted. The overall goal of NPI THRIVE is to accelerate the development of a safe and globally effective HIV vaccine by supporting a collaborative research ecosystem led by scientists and institutions from countries in Africa with high burdens of HIV working in close partnership with leading scientific institutions from other regions. This will be achieved through pursuing two complementary objectives, one focusing on clinical research and the other on preclinical research.

USAID intends to award at least two Applicants, at least one for each of the two objectives of this funding opportunity, based on the merit review criteria described in this NOFO and subject to a risk assessment.
