CEPI launches Call for Proposals to Develop Vaccines Against Novel Coronavirus

Promoting Vaccine Confidence in Local Communities - US

Deadline: 14 February 2020

CEPI has opened a call for proposals to rapidly develop and manufacture a proven vaccine approach that can be used against novel coronavirus, 2019-nCoV.

The rapid global spread and unique epidemiological characteristics of 2019-nCoV virus is deeply concerning.

In coordination with WHO, as it leads the development of a coordinated international response, CEPI is promoting the development of new vaccines against the emerging threat of 2019-nCoV virus.

Objectives

The objective of this Call for Proposals is to rapidly develop and manufacture a proven vaccine approach that can be used against the 2019-nCoV. This call aims to complement CEPI’s 2019-nCoV portfolio and candidates should have large-scale manufacturing capabilities for 2019-nCoV. The organization must be willing to transfer their vaccine technology to a global network of large-scale manufacturing.

The suggested vaccine-technology performance will be considered towards the following guidelines:

Supporting the development of vaccines that can prevent or stop an outbreak is a key part of CEPI’s mission. An equally critical part of the mission is to ensure that the vaccine is available and equally accessible to those who need them. Thus, in addition to the criteria of speed and versatility the vaccine technology must be able to be delivered to individuals easily in an outbreak setting and to be at a cost of goods that does not preclude broad access.
