Non-Human Lentiviral Models of the Neurological Complications of AIDS (R21): The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) invite research grant applications aimed at developing non-human lentiviral in vivo model systems for study of the neurologic complications of AIDS, with or without a history of drug use. Recent advances in the development of the SIV model system highlight the power of animal model systems for study of the mechanisms underlying the pathology associated with lentiviral infection in the nervous system. These models will be key for developing therapeutic approaches for the treatment of patients suffering from NeuroAIDS and for understanding the basic biology of infection with HIV/AIDS. -This funding opportunity will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21) award mechanism, but will be run in parallel with two FOAs of identical scientific scope that utilize the traditional research project grant (R01) [PAS-05-078] and small research grant (R03) [PAS-06-275] mechanisms, respectively. -The participating organizations intend to commit a total of $2,150,000 to this FOA for payment of applications responsive to this announcement and two parallel announcements that use the R01 and R03 mechanisms. -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 organizations: For-profit organizations; Non-profit organizations; Public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories; Eligible agencies of the Federal government; Units of State government; Units of local government ; Foreign Institutions; Domestic Institutions; Faith-based or community-based organizations; and units of state or local tribal governments. -Eligible Project Directors/Principal Investigators (PD/PIs): Any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support. -An R21 is not renewable.. -Applicants may submit more than one application, provided they are scientifically distinct
