Mechanisms of HIV Neuropathogenesis: Emerging Domestic and Global Issues (R01): Purpose. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite grant applications to support research in two key emerging areas in HIV neuropathogenesis research. One key area relates to understanding the mechanisms that regulate the changing phenotype of HIV-associated central nervous system (CNS) disease in the era of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART). A second area of emphasis are studies of viral (clade diversity) and host genetic mechanisms regulating HIV neuropathogenesis from a world wide perspective. Both basic and clinical research applications are encouraged. Multidisciplinary research teams and collaborative alliances are encouraged, but not required. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, MH-08-031, that solicits applications under the R21 mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NIMH and NINDS intend to contribute approximately $1.4 million towards this initiative. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. Eligible Institutions/Organizations.

Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support. Number of Applications. Applicants may submit more than one application, provided each application is scientifically distinct. Number of PDs/PIs. More than one PD/PI, or multiple PDs/PIs, may be designated on the application.
