The Sabin Vaccine Institute’s Vaccine Acceptance & Demand (VAD) is launching its fourth funding cycle of the Social and Behavioral Research Grants program. Successful applicants will be awarded funding for projects to conduct research and implement solutions.
Research Areas:
This year Sabin is inviting proposals for research projects that fall within the following tracks:
- Recovering lost gains in routine childhood immunizations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic
- Building effective adult immunization and life-course vaccination programs in a post-pandemic world
- Operationalizing the WHO Behavioral and Social Drivers (BeSD) framework
Eligibility:
The primary applicant organization and any proposed subaward organization(s) must:
- Be a not-for-profit entity, as this program supports individuals and institutions with limited opportunities and resources for funding. Proposals from for-profit entities will not be considered.
- Conduct the research project in LMIC settings; projects in high-income settings will not be considered
- Have established partnerships with local immunization program(s), civil society organization(s), and/or other non-governmental organizations
The proposed project Principal Investigator(s) and Co-Investigator(s) across primary applicant organizations and any sub-award organizations must:
- Be interdisciplinary in nature and exhibit proof of skillsets from at least three disciplines (e.g., medical anthropology, communications, global health)
While multiple proposals may be submitted by the same Principal/Co-Investigator, Sabin will only fund the individual(s) for one project.
Funding details:
- US$70,000 per funded project.
- Duration of up to 18 months
