Description

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) provides continuing support for specific pathogen-free (SPF) macaque colonies previously funded under PAR-21-089 and PAR-18-669 that support HIV/AIDS research. The breeding colonies sustain SPF macaques essential for HIV/AIDS research, which are free of certain viruses that could confound research or pose risks to personnel. These macaques are genetically characterized for MHC class I types, influencing immune responses to SIV and HIV. Eligible applicants include public and state institutions of higher education within the U.S. Non-domestic and foreign components are not eligible.
