CEPI	Coalition for Epidemic Prepardness Innovations	https://cepi.net/get_involved/cfps/	open	open	CEPI is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity for the development of vaccines and other multi-purpose platform technologies against emerging infectious diseases. The Call for Proposals is in two parts: Step 1 is an Expression of Interest (the subject of this announcement) and Step 2 is the submission of a full proposal for funding. EOIs may be submitted at any time and the review will occur on a rolling basis. After the review process, EOI applicants may be invited to submit full proposals for funding (Step 2). In Step 1 of this Call for Proposals, CEPI asks for submissions of Expressions of Interest (EOI) for platform technologies that enable rapid vaccine development, rapid scale-up, and/or rapid induction of immunity or immunoprophylactic benefit for use in outbreaks of known viruses as well as novel or previously unrecognised viruses. These can be novel platforms or existing (proven) platforms where improvements can be made in terms of increased speed, decreased costs and manufacturing scale-up to respond to known and unknown disease threat situations.
