Abstract In this program, we propose to determine the correlates of protection in individuals that spontaneously clear multiple HCV infection episodes. This will give highly valuable information for the design of next generation of vaccines. Our goal to assess the role of antigen-specific T and B cell responses in infection outcome and to generate an efficacious immune response by vaccination strategies in non-human primates based on emulating successful resolution of natural re-exposure and re-infection in human patients. This U19 proposal consists of 3 Projects and two Cores consisting of an Administrative Core A and a Clinical Core B. The Administrative Core A will provide two functions: (i) provide overall administrative oversight and support for the Program and (ii) provide biostatistical analyses and data management support for the individual projects and Cores. This Administrative Core will be led by Dr. Grakoui at Emory University and will provide the coordination necessary to make effective and efficient use of resources and intermediate results from this collaborative effort. The primary function will be to facilitate scientific interactions between the Project leaders as well as Core leaders. The administrative component will provide the leadership to ensure milestones are met, assessment of the Core functions, modification of scientific goals, incorporation of any new collaborators, decisions of ongoing prioritization and reallocation of resources. Critical decisions will be made in consultation with the Project leaders and program official at NIH. The Administrative Core will file annual reports to the NIH. The Administrative Core will maintain budgets and oversee any re-budgeting that is needed to meet program goals. The biostatistics portion of the Administrative Core will provide data management and statistical support for the three projects. In addition, the Biostatics portion will establish and maintain appropriate database, management and analysis in response to investigators' requests. In order to provide services to meet the analytical challenges the Core will include facilitating methodologies necessary for addressing complex statistical issues encountered in various research projects. In addition, provide essential metrics between the clinicians, scientists and biostatisticians. Having resources dedicated to the biostatistics and data management needs for the research proposed here, will add enormous value to the quality and productivity of the research conducted by the Investigators and to disseminate this information correctly to the scientific community.

抽象的 在该计划中，我们建议确定自发清除的个人的保护相关性 多个HCV感染发作。这将为下一代设计提供高度宝贵的信息 疫苗。我们的目标是评估抗原特异性T和B细胞反应在感染结果中的作用以及 基于模拟的非人类灵长类动物的疫苗接种策略产生有效的免疫反应 成功解决人类患者的自然再感染和再感染。 该U19建议由3个项目和两个核心组成，由行政核心A和一个临床组成 核心B.行政核心A将提供两个功能：（i）提供总体行政监督和 对该计划的支持，（ii）为个人提供生物统计学分析和数据管理支持 项目和核心。该行政核心将由埃默里大学的Grakoui博士领导，并将提供 有效，有效利用资源和中间结果所必需的协调 协作努力。主要功能将是促进项目领导者之间的科学互动 以及核心领导者。行政组件将提供领导才能确保达到里程碑， 评估核心功能，修改科学目标，合并任何新合作者， 持续的优先级和资源重新分配的决定。关键决定将在咨询中做出 与项目负责人和计划官员一起在NIH。行政核心将向NIH提交年度报告。 行政核心将维护预算，并监督满足计划所需的任何预算 目标。行政核心的生物统计学部分将提供数据管理和统计支持 对于这三个项目。此外，生物统计学部分将建立并维护适当的数据库， 管理和分析回应研究者的要求。为了提供服务以满足 分析挑战核心将包括促进解决复杂统计所必需的方法 各种研究项目遇到的问题。此外，提供临床医生之间的重要指标， 科学家和生物统计学家。拥有专门针对生物统计学和数据管理需求的资源 这里提出的研究将为进行的研究的质量和生产力增加巨大的价值 调查人员并将这些信息正确传播给科学界。
