Milestone
2.1.a
Clinical studies and samples
In progress
Develop a comprehensive list of clinical trials globally that are ongoing or planned (such as ongoing cohort studies) and develop and share guidance to support the collection, management, storage, and distribution of clinical samples (including samples from commercial entities) for immunologic research relevant to improved influenza vaccines.
Progress Highlights
The NIH Flu Hub Cohort Studies database includes a searchable catalog of DMID-funded and other clinical studies to support research related to the NIAID universal influenza vaccine strategic initiative; resources include study samples (e.g., serum, bone marrow, and nasopharyngeal swabs), which are available to researchers.
