Description: The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement is to provide continuing support for specific pathogen free (SPF) macaque colonies previously funded under the auspices of PAR-14-066. Breeding colonies are essential to sustain Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) research. Pedigree SPF macaques are free of certain viruses, which can confound the results of AIDS-related investigations or present a risk to the personnel who care for the animals. The SPF macaques are genetically characterized for major histocompatibility (MHC) class I types as defined MHC classes are critical in determining immune responses to HIV/AIDS infections.
