Deadline: 31-Aug-20
CEPI has announced a new funding opportunity for the sourcing of sera from recovered patients with securely diagnosed Rift Valley Fever (RVF) disease.

The call seeks to facilitate CEPI’s strategic objective on vaccine development for RVF, one of the CEPI prioritized diseases with epidemic potential. The ultimate purpose of this call is that it will lead to the development of WHO/ECBS-endorsed International Antibody Standard for RVF.
