Dengue Controlled Human Infection Model - Development Grant (360G-Wellcome-210607_Z_18_Z)
Following a positive response to the preliminary submission for grant funding to establish a Dengue Controlled Human Infection Model (Dengue-CHIM ) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, I am submitting this request for a small grant to assist in refining and developing the main proposal prior to final submission in March 2018. During this pre-submission phase I plan to employ an experienced post-doctoral immunologist to carry out a) a scoping review of the current landscape of dengue vaccines in development, and b) a review exploring the current understanding of the immune response to/protection from DENV infection and disease, particularly focusing on immune correlates of protection. This will be the first application of a Dengue-CHIM approach in any dengue endemic setting, and raises a number of important bioethical concerns. Therefore I also plan to employ a Vietnamese social science research assistant for a period of 4 months to engage with key Vietnamese stakeholders to discuss the important issues surrounding endemic setting CHIMs, conduct preliminary informal interviews with these individuals, and help to develop the agenda for a 2 day workshop focused on Bioethics and Stakeholder Engagement related to endemic setting CHIMs that will take place in early March.
