An effective vaccine to protect cattle against Infectious Bovine Keratoconjunctivitis (IBK)

⁠⁠⁠Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) is seeking applications from organizations (or partnerships of organizations) to develop a minimum 80% effective (protective immunity in challenge studies) single or double-shot vaccine construct that protects cattle against IBK. This opportunity is to secure either levy funding (to provide full project funding) for the program of work, or a collaborative funding opportunity whereby MLA, via the MLA donor company, can contribute up to 40% of the total project cost (not including project administration fees). Partnered investments via the MDC will be considered favourably.

Deadline for submissions: Applications must be received by 17:00 AEST on Friday 7th March 2025. Late proposals will not be accepted.

IBK Vaccine Terms of Reference

Use the preliminary proposal template and submit proposals electronically to MLA via mlaurence@mla.com.au

Applicants should carefully review this page and the MLA Project Funding Application Guidelines before completing their detailed project application.
