[Aquaphage] Fwd: FW: Request for Information: Challenges and Opportunities in Elucidating the Human Virome

[Michelle Thompson]

Interested in participating?

This is human-based, and not fish-based, therefore much more expensive and
intensive, but we have an opportunity here.

Get in touch if you'd like to help take advantage of it.

Dear IPATH Community,

We wanted to draw attention to the below Request for Information:
Challenges and Opportunities in Elucidating the Human Virome, and encourage
stakeholders to submit comments to the provided email,
HumanVirome at od.nih.gov.



Sincerely,

The IPATH Team



*From:* News and Information about the Common Fund <NIH-OSC-L at LIST.NIH.GOV> *On
Behalf Of *Murcia, Ellie (NIH/OD) [E]
*Sent:* Tuesday, March 22, 2022 8:22 AM
*To:* NIH-OSC-L at LIST.NIH.GOV
*Subject:* Request for Information: Challenges and Opportunities in
Elucidating the Human Virome



The NIH is considering the possibility of developing a Common Fund
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/commonfund.nih.gov/__;!!LLK065n_VXAQ!0wjj-PoU-J6kW0cCrsUPmcniivDjYh4A0gLfPW1vC8NjWqOzS8vMiyTIiF0nLQ6zewg$>
program to characterize the human virome to yield greater understanding of
the viruses we harbor and their impact on immune function and human health.
Planning efforts are now underway, for potential launch in fiscal year 2024
or beyond. As part of the initial planning process, the NIH is requesting
input from the scientific community on the current challenges in this field
that can best be addressed through a concerted and coordinated effort.
This Request
for Information (RFI): Challenges and Opportunities in Elucidating the
Human Virome (NOT-RM-22-010)
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-RM-22-010.html__;!!LLK065n_VXAQ!0wjj-PoU-J6kW0cCrsUPmcniivDjYh4A0gLfPW1vC8NjWqOzS8vMiyTIiF0nFtx5kmM$>
seeks input from stakeholders throughout the scientific research community
and the public regarding any of the following topics, as well as any
additional ideas not included below:

   1. Research to define and characterize the human virome
   2. Research to understand the establishment of the human virome in the
   neonatal period, through infancy, and into early childhood
   3. Research to understand how the different parts of the human virome
   (e.g., eukaryotic and prokaryotic, and between different body sites)
   interact
   4. Research to understand how the virome interacts with the other parts
   of the microbiome
   5. Research to understand the impact of commensal eukaryotic viruses and
   bacteriophages on the human immune system and pathogenicity and virulence
   of other viruses
   6. Methods, tools, or resources needed for the research outlined above
   7. Specific populations for whom research on the human virome should be
   prioritized (and a rationale for the proposed priorities)
   8. Characterization of particular challenges, acceptability, and
   feasibility of obtaining biospecimens/tissue samples and other clinical and
   environmental measures
   9. Resources (e.g., biorepositories, registries, and electronic health
   records) that could be leveraged or used to advance human virome research



Responses to this RFI will be accepted through April 29, 2022. All comments
will be anonymous and must be submitted via email to HumanVirome at od.nih.gov.
Please include the Notice number (NOT-RM-22-010) in the subject line.



The NIH Common Fund encourages collaboration and supports a series of
exceptionally high impact, trans-NIH programs. These programs are supported
by the Common Fund and managed by the NIH Office of the Director in
partnership with the various NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) – “The Nation's Medical Research
Agency” – includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of the U.
S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is the primary federal
agency for conducting and supporting basic, clinical and translational
medical research, and it investigates the causes, treatments and cures for
both common and rare diseases. For more information about the NIH and its
programs, visit the NIH website.
