Highly Innovative Tactics to Interrupt Transmission of HIV (HIT-IT) (R01): -Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH), solicits Research Project Grant (R01) applications from institutions/organizations that aim to stimulate the discovery, design and early preclinical evaluation of highly innovative, risky but rational approaches that could provide long term protection from acquiring HIV infection. Recent setbacks in the vaccine, microbicide and other biomedical prevention fields have raised several questions leading to increased interest for new, alternative and untested outside-the-box approaches, highlighting the need for a shift in paradigms to discover and develop new prevention strategies that address this conundrum. The proposed work is expected to explore novel hypotheses or address difficult problems, the solutions to which could have a significant impact on finding methods to interrupt HIV transmission. The research proposed is expected to focus on verifying a hypothesis or solving a problem for the field. The program is open to established and new investigators and does not require research expertise in the area of HIV prevention as a prerequisite for submitting an application. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) (with modified submission requirements) award mechanism.
