The Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Consortium (IDCRC) and Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Units (VTEUs) work in tandem with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) as a coordinated national and global network of scientific experts working to develop and test vaccines and other therapies to combat infectious diseases.
About
The IDCRC works through a flexible, sustaining structure to advance new countermeasures and approaches to product development, implement efficient clinical study/trial designs, and support exceptional career development and mentoring of future leaders in infectious diseases clinical research. The consortium's collective experience and access to diverse populations give it the ability to evaluate new vaccines and therapies for infectious diseases.

IDCRC study assessing meningococcal pentavalent (ACYWX) vaccine for infants in Africa shared with WHO; provides affordable protection against meningococcal meningitis
Researchers from the Infectious Diseases Clinical Research Consortium (IDCRC) provided an interim report of the Meningococcal Serogroup ACYWX Conjugate Vaccine in Comparison With MenACWY-TT Conjugate Vaccine (DMID 20-0024) study’s nine-month infant group to the WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on Immunization on September 26. The study results show that the pentavalent (NmCV-5 or MenFive®) vaccine is safe and highly immunogenic at 28 days post-vaccine.
