The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support the development and validation of reagents/tools to support research to characterize cellular and molecular constituents of the bat immune system and for the study of protective innate and adaptive immune mechanisms in bats. The Research Resource Program established by this NOFO will participate within a collaborative research network to advance understanding of the bat immune response.
A companion NOFO (RFA-AI-23-068) will support research projects that will characterize cellular and molecular constituents of the bat immune system and seek to understand protective innate and adaptive immune mechanisms in bats.
