About this archived opportunity

The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to support research to obtain timely input from nationally representative samples of the public, including but not limited to patients and caregivers, on critical economic immunization issues of importance to public health. For example, productivity losses of child caregivers can be used as an input for a cost-effectiveness analysis of a pediatric vaccine in development. The objectives of this NOFO are: 1) to conduct multiple surveys of the public over the project period to collect immunization-related economic data, using scientifically sound methods with adequate response rates that produce generalizable results; and 2) to disseminate the results broadly to assist in economic evaluations for new vaccines and developing strategies to improve immunization coverage. Surveyed members of the public should be at least18 years old or older, and should include subpopulations such as pregnant women, parents of children aged 0–17 years, and persons with chronic medical conditions.
