The Consortium for Food Allergy Research (CoFAR) The First Generation

The Consortium for Food Allergy Research (CoFAR) was established by the The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in 2005 as a collaborative research program bringing together centers focused on the study of food allergy. The Consortium was charged with developing studies to better understand the pathogenesis and natural history of food allergy, as well as potential approaches to the treatment of food allergy. In its first iteration, an observational study of infants with milk and egg allergy was established and studies of oral immunotherapy for egg allergy and sublingual immunotherapy for peanut allergy were initiated, as was a Phase 1 study of a recombinant peanut protein vaccine.
