The NGVL Coordinating Center processes applications sent into the NGVL. Submitted applications are reviewed by three members of the Scientific Review Board with further review by the Steering Committee/Prioritization Subcommittee, and recommendations are made to the NIH. On approval of the application funds are distributed to the NGVL labs for vector production or to the toxicology centers for preclinical toxicology studies. Reviews are carried out twice a year, unless submitted as an expedited review which has been set up for investigators who have obtained provisional IRB approval. Applications fulfilling these requirements will undergo the same review process but on an accelerated timetable these can be submitted at any time. See Application Review Process.

The Coordinating Center also maintains a Toxicology database for specific classes of vector. This information is accessible through the NGVL website. Data will be comprised of summaries submitted by NGVL-supported and non-supported investigators.

Investigators interested in vector production for their clinical application or for pharm/tox studies may download the application packet in Adobe PDF format here. Mail in your application on a CD in .pdf format or send via email in .pdf format to Lorraine Matheson.
