UK Vaccine Network - Global Health Security and Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency The UK Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is collaborating with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to deliver a programme of work consisting of two Work Packages, one with UKVN and the other with the Global AMR Innovation Fund (GAMRIF). The Prime Minister established the UK Vaccine Network (UKVN) in June 2015 to ensure that the UK was at the forefront of the fight against future disease outbreaks. UKVN has identified a range of human diseases with epidemic potential for which the development of vaccines is a priority. GAMRIF was established in 2016 in response to the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance chaired by Lord Jim O’Neill. It is a One Health UK aid fund that supports research and development (R&D) around the world to reduce the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in humans, animals and the environment by progressing therapeutics, preventatives and diagnostics along the pipeline for the benefit of people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). DHSC is making up to £2,700,000 available to the Partners under the provisions of the International Development Act of 2002 to manage and deliver the two Work Packages. Up to £1,000,000 of this will be for Work Package 1 (UKVN) and up to £1,700,000 for Work Package 2 (GAMRIF). The UKVN Work Package Supporting epidemic and pandemic preparedness by expanding the portfolio of research reagents for emerging viruses. Summary: Simple and timely access to high quality research reagents would accelerate the development of vaccines against emerging infectious diseases, particularly for scientists from low and middle-income countries (LMICs), which are frequently the worst affected. To meet this global need, we propose to expand the Centre for AIDS Reagents (CFAR) to become the Centre for Infectious Disease Reagents (CIDR). The existing CFAR repository at the Medicine and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), has successfully been providing a sustained research reagent resource to the scientific community since 1989, supplying more than 8500 vials of reagents to hundreds of organisations globally, in the past 10 years. Using our existing network and successful operating model, we would, with the expansion of scope for CIDR: Encourage leading laboratories to deposit state of the art research materials to our repository; Produce new reagents, primarily recombinant proteins and pseudotyped viruses; Commission new reagents from collaborators, including peptides and monoclonal antibodies. These materials will be prioritized to organisations in LMICs which will benefit from free of charge access. Our proven track record for collaboration, production and distribution of research reagents assures an ongoing legacy resource for research on emerging pathogens.
UK Vaccine Network - BactiVac Network The BactiVac Network aims to accelerate the development of vaccines against bacterial infections aimed at reducing antimicrobial use in humans and animals, relevant to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). An investment of up to £1,400,000 will fund projects in two rounds of funding that support the development of vaccines that can prevent and/or minimise the emergence and transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Partnerships of at least two organisations are a requirement of funding, with at least one partner based in the UK, and partnerships with LMIC researchers are prioritised. This grant will directly benefit people in LMICs, both from the research and the established partnerships which will then be able to apply for further substantive follow-on funding in the field. The primary aim of the funding is to support new, diverse research projects to gain preliminary data and encourage establishment of new research partnerships and allow these collaborations to build a track record, which will allow them to attain further funding. It is expected that some of these projects will fail, yet the dissemination of both positive and negative research outcomes is valuable and is expected. Funding will also support other Network activities which promote collaboration across the membership, particularly for members based in LMICs.
UK Vaccine Network The UK Vaccine Network project is a £110 million ODA-funded project which makes targeted investments to support the development of new vaccines and vaccine technologies for emergent infectious disease threats in low and middle-income countries. This will allow outbreaks of diseases with epidemic potential to either be prevented through proactive vaccination campaigns or controlled through quick development of new vaccines and/or responsive vaccination campaigns upon outbreak detection. An investment strategy for the project was developed using advice from the UK Vaccine Network, a group of experts from academia, industry, government and philanthropic organisations, chaired by the DHSC Chief Scientific Adviser

Fleming Fund - Multi Party Trust Fund for Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR MPTF) Contribution to the United Nations Multi Party Trust Fund (MPTF) for AMR - the joint funding mechanism for FAO, OIE and WHO Tripartite over an initial five-year period (2019-2024). The MPTF seeks to promote increased integration and coordination within the tripartite and promote One Health action to tackle AMR.
Fleming Fund - Multilateral Grant to World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH ) Contributions to the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH ) to improve regulatory frameworks and monitor targeting veterinary medicines. The objectives of the Fleming Fund grant with WOAH are to: 1. improve recognition of the critical importance of tacking antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and raised awareness among veterinary health professionals and the general public; 2. agree WOAH standards on AMR and progress towards implementation of these standards in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs); 3. support member states to collect and report data on the use of antimicrobial agents in animals; 4. improve regulatory frameworks targeting veterinary medicines including antimicrobials; and 5. strengthen the coordination across WHO, FAO and WOAH in supporting the One Health agenda globally, and more specifically in LMICs. Projects funded through Fleming Fund will benefit people in low- and middle-income countries, where the burden of drug resistant infection is greater.
Global Antimicrobial Resistance Innovation Fund (GAMRIF) Global Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Innovation Fund Programme
Global Antimicrobial Resistance Innovation Fund (GAMRIF) - UK-China: Innovation and Collaboration to tackle AMR The UK Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)'s UK-China research competition supports new innovations to address anti-microbial resistance (AMR) in both humans and animals, which together constitute a significant threat to human health. Successful projects are a partnership of UK companies and research organisations, with Chinese companies and research organisations. £10 million of UK aid funding has now been awarded to UK partners through delivery partner Innovate UK, with the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) providing funding for the Chinese partners who will receive up to a total of 60 million RMB. The output of these partnerships will benefit people in other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) around the world. The aim of this partnership is to support novel research projects that will develop the use of cutting edge solutions to tackle critical issues of AMR in humans and animals and other LMICs. This includes solutions that will: - explore opprtunities from Traditional Chinese Medicine for the treatment and/or prevention of infectious diseases in humans and animals - advance the discovery of new agents, incdluing small molecule drugs, vaccines, antibodies and other biological products - identify new agents that increase feed energy conversion in livestock without using antibiotics or hormones - use modelling and clinical studies to maxmise the clinical utility of current antibiotics - improve diagnostic capabilities for the diagnosis, treatment selection and surveillance of bacterial infections and antibacterial resistance Projects funded through the Global AMR Innovation Fund (GAMRIF) will primarily benefit people in LMICs, where the burden of drug-resistant infection is greater.
UK Vaccine Network - Epidemiology for Vaccinology Competition The former Prime Minister established the UK Vaccine Network in June 2015 to ensure that the UK was at the forefront of the global fight against future disease outbreaks. The UK Vaccine Network has identified that alongside the need for Vaccine Products, there is also a need for the development of epidemiological models, and for tools and technologies to assist with the deployment and clinical trialling of vaccines in outbreak situations in low and middle income countries. The Department of Health and Social Care worked alongside the National Institute for Health Research to run a research competition to fund such research. The call was open to all eligible researchers that could demonstrate that their work was within the scope of the call and would positively support the welfare and economic development of countries on the OECD DAC list. The Department of Health and Social Care made up to £5 million available to run the competition and fund successful projects, under the provisions of the International Development Act 2002. Five successful projects have been awarded a research contract. This funding supports projects seeking to develop epidemiological models, tools and technologies to assist with the deployment and clinical trialling of vaccines in outbreak situations in low and middle income countries (LMICs) on the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list. The call was split into two parts: (1) Optimal Deployment of Vaccines in Outbreak Situations, in which one project has been awarded a £1.5m research contract to develop rigorous models for how priority diseases could spread in an outbreak setting. Desired outcomes for this project are trial designs, methodologies and optimal approaches for how both unlicensed and licensed vaccines could be deployed to support response to an outbreak pathogen; and (2) Development of other tools, technologies and methodologies to assist epidemiological work in outbreak settings. Under this section four projects have been awarded a total of £2.7m. Desired outcomes for this work include the development of technologies that would assist with the epidemiological assessment and response to disease outbreaks. Publication of scientifically robust research results from all projects will also be encouraged. Populations of the low and middle income countries where outbreaks of the UK Vaccine Network 12 priority pathogens occur.
