Description
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications for innovative basic and translational pilot research projects within the mission of the NIDDK that align with NIH HIV/AIDS research priorities. The research should focus on elucidating unique pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to HIV comorbidities, coinfections, and complications affecting organs, tissues, and processes within the NIDDK mission. Projects may also investigate biological mechanisms underlying HIV reservoirs in NIDDK-relevant tissues to develop strategies for long-term viral suppression or eradication. Additionally, studies on health-impeding social determinants of health affecting HIV-related complications or viral reservoirs within NIDDK's mission are encouraged.
