Mpox is a high priority research area for NIAID laboratory researchers as well as funded research. Through the information offered here, researchers can learn about the science being conducted at NIAID and by NIAID-funded researchers. Researchers seeking funding can access opportunities to further their own research, while NIAID and NIH grantees can find out about available resources outside of specific funding opportunities, and ways to connect with other researchers are also available.
As part of the U.S. government response to the current mpox outbreak NIAID has released an update on its priorities for mpox research. This research agenda outlines near-term (planned) and ongoing projects led by NIAID as part of a broader United States government supported mpox research effort. It is not a notice of new funding opportunities.
