CEPI – International

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

The rapid global spread and unique epidemiological characteristics of the novel coronavirus, 2019-nCoV – now declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) by the World Health Organization (WHO) – remain 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.

The new rolling call seeks to fund vaccine technologies which can advance an effective vaccine against the disease – with the aim to develop and test candidates at speed.
