The NIH-established priorities for HIV/AIDS research, detailed on the Office of AIDS Research (OAR) website, encompass several areas of research, including activities directed towards:
- Reduce the Incidence of HIV, including supporting the development of safe and effective vaccines, microbicides and pre-exposure prophylaxis.
- Develop Next-Generation HIV Therapies with improved safety and ease of use.
- Conduct Research Toward HIV Cure.
- Address HIV-Associated Comorbidities, Coinfections, and Complications through research designed to decrease and/or manage these conditions.
- Advance Cross-Cutting Areas of research in the basic sciences, behavioral and social sciences, epidemiology, implementation science, information dissemination, and research training.
NIH recognizes that modern physical infrastructure is necessary for the conduct of cutting-edge research. Dedicated space is required to house specialized equipment and to carry out experimental protocols. The scope of individual applications will vary and depend on the currently available infrastructure at the applicant institution, as well as the present and anticipated HIV/AIDS research needs. Requests must be justified by the needs for advancement of HIV/AIDS research. Focusing on the advancement of basic biology discoveries, the development of diagnostic tools and therapies, or advancing prevention and treatment through clinical and biobehavioral research will be a common and integral part of any project’s justification. The project, when completed, is expected to provide significant long-term institution-wide support for HIV/AIDS research, bringing the capacities and capabilities to a new level. Consequently, the applicant institution should demonstrate future-looking commitments towards the facility and HIV/AIDS research therein, by attaching a letter of support from a high-ranking institutional official.
