The Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Consortium (IDCRC) and Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Units (VTEUs) work in tandem with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) as a coordinated national and global network of scientific experts working to develop and test vaccines and other therapies to combat infectious diseases.

About


The IDCRC works through a flexible, sustaining structure to advance new countermeasures and approaches to product development, implement efficient clinical study/trial designs, and support exceptional career development and mentoring of future leaders in infectious diseases clinical research. The consortium's collective experience and access to diverse populations give it the ability to evaluate new vaccines and therapies for infectious diseases.

COVID-19 Vaccination and Boosting During Pregnancy Protects Infants for Six Months

Results from the Multisite Observational Maternal and Infant COVID-19 Vaccine (MOMI-Vax) study revealed that when pregnant volunteers received both doses of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, antibodies induced by the vaccine could be found in their newborns’ cord blood. This suggested that the infants likely had some protection against COVID-19 when they were still too young to receive a vaccine. Researchers at the NIAID-funded IDCRC, which conducted the study, did not know how long these antibody levels would last or how well the infants would actually be protected. The research team hoped to gather this information by following the infants through their first six months of life.

COVID-19 Prevention Network

The CoVPN was established by merging four existing NIAID-funded clinical trials networks: the HIV Vaccine Trials Network; the HIV Prevention Trials Network; the Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Consortium; and the AIDS Clinical Trials Group.
