Deadline: 14 November 2016
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is seeking proposals from eligible applicants for its program titled- Coordinating Center for the HIV/AIDS and Substance Use Cohorts Program.
NIDA supports a program of longitudinal cohorts to address emerging and high priority research on HIV/AIDS in the context of injection and non-injection substance abuse. These cohorts provide a strong resource platform for current and future collaborative efforts with other investigators to address emerging questions related to HIV pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment in the context of substance abuse, as well as to foster the creativity and efficiency of investigator initiated research projects.
The diverse research activities among these cohorts include basic immunologic, and virologic studies, as well as studies on HIV prevention and treatment, and the co-morbidities and co-infections associated with HIV and substance abuse. NIDA has determined that a coordinating center (CC) is needed in order to take advantage of these rich sources of data and bio-specimens and optimize collaborations among both the cohort investigators and other researchers not funded under the cohort program.
Funds Available
NIDA intends to commit $1,000,000 in FY16 to fund one award.
