Pilot Projects

我们对人类免疫学和生物防御转化研究中心的建议收集了 来自不同背景的研究人员，但通过他们对树突状细胞生物学的兴趣而统一 (DCs)并利用它们来制造新型疫苗。当我们规划这个中心时，我们确定了专家， 将协同提供关于利用人类DC亚群的最佳方案， 改进的粘液瘤疫苗。鉴于这一主题的广泛性，我们应该期望找出 集体专门知识的全部内容。这些试点项目的目标是：1）填补这些知识空白 扩大中心的发现，2）吸引，人类免疫学领域， 已被证明是基础免疫学和适用于以下领域的杰出贡献者的研究人员： 技术开发。五年的中心周期将允许我们支持多达五个试点 项目这些项目将获得最多两年的资助。

Our proposal for a Center for Translational Research in Human Immunology and Biodefense gathers investigators from different backgrounds, yet unified through their interest in the biology of dendritic cells (DCs) and harnessing them to make novel vaccines. As we planned this Center, we identified experts that would synergize to provide the best possible program on the topic of Harnessing Human DC Subsets for Improved Mucosal Vaccines. Given the breadth of the topic, we'should expect to identify gaps in the repertoire of collective expertise. The objectives of these Pilot Projects will be 1) to fill these knowledge gaps and expand the discoveries made in the Center and 2) to attract, to the field of human immunology, investigators who have proven to be outstanding contributors to basic immunology and to fields that apply to Technology Development. The five years of the Center Cycle will permit us to support up to five Pilot Projects. These projects will be financed for up to two years.
