The National Institute on Drug Abuse HIV/AIDS Pilot Proteomics Centers (P20): -This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by NIDA, National Institutes of Health, solicits applications to establish Pilot Proteomics Centers that will address the complex biological mechanisms of interactions among drugs of abuse and HIV pathogenesis, their treatments, and host responses. The centers will use proteomics technologies and other related technologies (i.e., gene expression profiling) to look for protein changes and molecular signatures of disease progression of HIV/AIDS in combination with substance abuse/addiction, HIV treatment, and/or treatments for substance abuse. These proteomics centers are expected to help identify mechanisms related to susceptibility to and progression of HIV infection, viral replication, and viral evolution, particularly related to neuroAIDS. The use of advanced tools to better understand the molecular and cellular consequences of HIV-1 infection and substance abuse in the era of HAART will likely lead to the identification of new biomarkers for disease progression and new avenues for clinical research and interventions. -The total amount to be awarded is $2,000,000 to support one or two centers using the P20 mechanism. Individual awards will be limited to $700,000 direct costs for each of three years. -Eligible organizations include: Public/State Controlled Institution of Higher Education, Private Institution of Higher Education, Nonprofit with 501(c)(3) IRS Status (Other than Institution of Higher Education), Nonprofit without 501(c)(3) IRS Status (Other than Institution of Higher Education), Small Business, For-Profit Organization (Other than Small Business), State Government, U.S. Territory or Possession, Indian/Native American Tribal Government (Federally Recognized), Indian/Native American Tribal Government (Other than Federally Recognized), Indian/Native American Tribally Designated Organization.
