Description: The purpose of this funding announcement is to support preclinical HIV/AIDS research using NHP models performed by Early Stage Investigators who are within 10 years of their terminal degree or residency training but who have at least two years of postdoctoral experience. The goal of this support is to help advance HIV/AIDS researchers using NHP models in preclinical research by providing a degree of independence for these Early Stage Investigators to develop new research directions and to position these researchers to be competitive for new research project (e.g., R01) funding. Research must be in the field of HIV/AIDS translational studies, using NHPs as preclinical models. This funding initiative encompasses all objectives of the fiscal year (FY) 2019/2020 NIH strategic plan for HIV and HIV-Related Research (https://www.oar.nih.gov/hiv-policy-and-research/strategic-plan), including research directed towards prevention and cure of HIV infection; next-generation therapies; understanding the roles of comorbidities, coinfections and complications; and cross-cutting activities such as building capacity.
