The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), one of the largest institutes in the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), conducts and supports basic and applied research to better understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases.

The Vaccine Section collaborates extensively with OBRRTR, DMID, other NIH institutes, other U.S. government agencies, and non-government organizations (e.g., the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations).
