About this award
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded a $5.455 million definitive contract to La Jolla Institute For Immunology on September 30, 2024, for identification and validation of epitopes conserved in viral pathogen families with pandemic potential, with performance completing September 29, 2029.
The contract is cost-no-fee. Place of performance is La Jolla, CA. The originating solicitation (pre-solicitation posted March 6, 2023) sought multi-disciplinary research teams to conduct large-scale discovery and validation of T cell immune epitopes associated with infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, commensal organisms, or alloantigens influencing transplant outcomes, with potential development or refinement of T cell epitope prediction tools.
In FY2025, the institute invoiced $680 thousand across 4.7 FTEs and 9,747 contractor hours, yielding a blended government-paid rate of $69.76 per hour. Subcontractors accounted for 51% of contractor hours; named sub-awardees include Fundacion Universidad Del Norte (patient recruitment and sample collection for chikungunya-infected cohorts in Colombia), Tulane University (sample collection from survivors and seropositive household contacts in Sierra Leone), University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (multiplex serological assays testing for alphavirus antibody responses), and J. Craig Venter Institute (bioinformatic characterization of epitope sequence conservation across viral variants and species).
