VaxHub Platform Funding

INTRODUCTION

A key element of both VaxHub Sustainable and VaxHub Global is the Platform Funding, which enables VaxHub Members and academic partners to apply for funds to deliver projects that align with and contribute to the VaxHub themes.

There will be three Funding Calls for VaxHub Global and three for VaxHub Sustainable, with the first call for VaxHub Sustainable having closed on 4th April. The second, VaxHub Global, call opens on 7th April 2025.

You can find out more about the VaxHub Global call by visiting the VaxHub Global Platform Funding page. Further information about the VaxHub Sustainable calls can be found on the VaxHub Sustainable Funding page.

VaxHub Members (i.e. those who have signed the VaxHub Agreement or intend to join the VaxHub during the call period) are invited to submit applications to support platform funded projects. A platform funded project could focus on testing or demonstrating research results (experimental methods, analytical techniques, etc.) generated on a VaxHub related vaccine technology (viral vectored, VLP, mRNA and conjugated vaccines). Projects must be related to VaxHub themes and could address research questions derived from prior academic study or respond to industry identified needs in the manufacture of vaccines. For the first VaxHub Global call, launching on 7th April, we are particularly interested in research that focuses on precision systems for microparticle encapsulation and novel spray-dried and spray-freeze-dried formulations. Projects focusing on fostering new collaborations or supporting training and upskilling objectives are also accepted.

The next call (VaxHub Global) will open on 7th April 2025. More information can be found by visiting the VaxHub Global Platform Funding page.
