The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support the development and validation of reagents/tools to support research to characterize cellular and molecular constituents of the bat immune system and for the study of protective innate and adaptive immune mechanisms in bats. The Research Resource Program established by this NOFO will participate within a collaborative research network to advance understanding of the bat immune response. This NOFO will support the establishment and operation of a Bat Immunology Research Resource Program for the development and validation of reagents/tools for use in immunological studies using the bat model system. The recipient will participate in the Bat Immunology Network, which will consist of the Research Resource Program, the research projects supported by RFA-AI-23-068, and possible other participants as determined by NIAID. The Research Resource Program will conduct reagent/tool development and validation using appropriate systems, which includes testing against multiple bat species. While other members of the Bat Immunology Network may assist in validation efforts, reagent/tool validation is the responsibility of the Research Resource Program. Reagents/tools developed by the Research Resource Program will be provided to the research projects of the Bat Immunology Network. Reagents/tools will be made available to the broader research community through technology transfer arrangements, deposition to nonprofit repositories, and/or timely transfer to industry for commercialization. Areas of high priority include, but are not limited to, the development and validation of the following: Soluble immune molecules (e.g., cytokines, chemokines) for use in tissue culture or in vivo animal studies Antibodies or other probes/detection markers for use in cellular phenotyping, functional studies and/or immunoassays

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support research to characterize cellular and molecular constituents of the bat immune system and to understand protective innate and adaptive immune mechanisms in bats. Research projects supported by this NOFO will form a collaborative research network to advance understanding of the bat immune response. This NOFO will support research projects to characterize the bat immune system, including defining protective innate or adaptive immune molecules and mechanisms. As little is known about the bat immune system, projects may be descriptive in nature or may be supported by limited preliminary data. Projects should emphasize the strength of the conceptual framework and the potential of the project to advance understanding of the bat immune system. Projects may propose the development of critical reagents for the project, though those development and validation activities may be transferred to the Research Resource Program after award. Research areas of high priority include, but are not limited to, the following: Characterization of the cellular constituents of the bat immune system Dissection of the molecules and pathways involved in the regulation of the bat innate and/or adaptive immune system Mechanistic studies of bat immunity, including intrinsic immunity and regulation of inflammation Studies on the quality, magnitude, and kinetics of bat immune responses during pathogenic infection and after pathogen clearance Role of metabolism or other intrinsic factors in bat immune regulation Structural studies of bat immune proteins
