Description
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seeks to support four Clinical Trials Networks (CTNs), each with a Leadership and Operations Center (LOC), Statistical and Data Management Center, and Laboratory Center, to advance HIV prevention, treatment, and implementation research aimed at ending the HIV epidemic. This NOFO will solicit applications for four LOCs to provide scientific leadership, research prioritization, and conduct studies in a CTN. LOCs will develop research agendas in areas such as HIV therapeutics/cure, prevention/treatment for HIV-associated comorbidities, maternal/adolescent/pediatric HIV prevention/treatment, biomedical HIV prevention strategies, and immune-based prevention for HIV and related diseases. The CTNs will conduct HIV implementation research to improve the uptake of evidence-based prevention and treatment strategies across the lifespan. High-impact studies will produce significant benefits for Americans with or at risk of HIV.
