Bridging the Gap in Support for Vaccine Development

The Pichichero Family Foundation Vaccines for Children Initiative, founded by Dr. Michael Pichichero, partnered with the PIDS Foundation to create a research award program to encourage and support physician-scientists, with a specific focus on developing new vaccines and immunotherapeutics for children. Established in 2016 with the Pichichero Family Foundation's generous support, the program awards two-year grants to applicants at any stage of their career, and all members of PIDS are encouraged to apply.
