Limited Competition Cohort Studies of HIV/AIDS and Substance Abuse (U01): The National Institute on Drug Abuse supported a number of HIV/AIDS cohorts among substance abusing populations. These cohorts address emerging and high priority research on HIV/AIDS. These longitudinal cohorts serve as a strong resource platform for current and future collaborative efforts with other investigators to address emerging questions related to HIV infection, prevention, and treatment in the context of substance abuse, as well as to foster the creativity and efficiency of investigator-initiated research. Accomplishments by the NIDA-funded cohorts have been highly significant. Four of these cohorts (see below) will be terminated within a year if continued support is not provided. Therefore, the purpose of this Limited Competition Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support the maintenance and expansion of these NIDA-funded cohorts to continue to address new emerging and/or high priority research on multidisciplinary aspects of HIV/AIDS and substance abuse. This FOA will provide continued support for recruiting and retaining participants in the cohort(s) to provide insight into the changing demographics of the HIV epidemic among this high risk population in the United States (U.S.). This FOA will also continue to provide a strong resource platform for current and future collaborative efforts with other investigators to address new and emerging questions related to HIV infection, prevention, and/or treatment in the context of substance abuse, as well as to foster the creativity and efficiency of investigatorinitiated research goals.
