To tackle the human health challenges that face the world today, the FNIH develops collaborations with top experts from government, industry, academia and the not-for-profit sector and provides a neutral environment where we can work productively toward a common goal.
Lung-MAP is an umbrella protocol which contains a screening component and multiple independently conducted and analyzed treatment sub-studies. The overarching hypothesis is that the umbrella master protocol will establish genomic screening for a large population of previously treated Non-small cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients and evaluate targeted therapies (or combinations) in biomarker-driven sub-studies and immunotherapy combinations in patients previously exposed to standard checkpoint inhibitor therapy and lead to regulatory approval of efficacious regimens.
The African Centers of Excellence in Bioinformatics works to establish high-performance computing infrastructure and advanced training in biomedical data analysis to researchers at African research institutes.
To identify host- and parasite-specific biomarker(s) present in human subjects with viable adult females of Onchocerca volvulus (Ov) and to develop and configure rapid point of care methods to detect (or sense) these biomarkers.
To produce high-quality chemical hit series with defined, tractable targets as drug leads for tuberculosis.
This program supports research to develop new biologic and chemical strategies to control disease transmission by vector mosquitoes.
As a subset of activities under the VCTR program, the New Insecticides for Malaria Control program addressed the urgent need for new chemicals to kill mosquitoes that transmit malaria.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Systemic Lupus Erythematosus & Related Autoimmune Disorders is an initiative of the Accelerating Medicines Partnership (AMP), which is a multi-sector, pre-competitive partnership among government, industry, and nonprofit organizations, the goal of which is to harness collective capabilities, scale and resources toward improving current efforts to develop new therapies for complex, heterogeneous diseases.
The Centralized Envelope Comparative Immunogenicity Study is an HIV/AIDS vaccine development project that seeks to answer a central question that has blocked the development of a successful HIV vaccine: how can we design vaccine immunogens that address the broad genetic diversity of HIV?
This program is field testing a new self-sustaining biocontrol technology to prevent transmission of dengue, zika and chikungunya viruses by vector mosquitoes.
ADNI was established to facilitate the development of effective treatments for Alzheimer’s disease by validating biomarkers for clinical trials and determining the relationships between the clinical, cognitive, imaging, genetic, and biochemical biomarker characteristics of AD.
