The HIC-Vac network was set-up with support from the GCRF Networks in Vaccines Research & Development, which is co-funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) (part of the EDCTP2 programme supported by the European Union).
The Network is now funded by the Wellcome Trust.
