Opportunity: 2021 Michelson Prize
Deadline: June 18, 2021
Overview
The 2021 Michelson Prizes will be looking for research proposals in two areas:
- Human Immunology and Vaccine Research: Research aimed at tackling the current roadblocks that exist in human vaccine development and expanding our limited understanding of key immune processes that are fundamental to successful vaccine and immunotherapy development.
- Climate Change and Human Immunology: Research that expands our understanding of the potential effects of climate change on immune function with a particular interest in research that will directly translate into vaccine and immunotherapy development to mitigate its impact.
Projects should propose innovative ideas and approaches that can be applied across many disease areas and states and have the potential to significantly expand our understanding of the human immune system and accelerate the development of vaccines and immunotherapies.
