The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR), on Friday announced it has selected initial next-generation vaccine candidates and more than $500 million in awards for Project NextGen.
This kick-starts the planning for Phase IIb clinical trials and technologies that advance innovative next-generation vaccine and therapeutics platforms.
“The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to keeping people safe from COVID-19,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. “By investing in next-generation vaccines and treatments, we can improve our ability to respond to new variants, reduce transmission, stop infections, and save lives. Through Project NextGen, we are combining research and development expertise at HHS with the lessons learned throughout the pandemic to protect our nation from COVID-19,” he added.
