Part 2. Full Text of Announcement

Section I. Funding Opportunity Description

Research Objectives

FOA currently reads:

The objective of this research program is to promote the identification of novel HIV biomarkers that can be used to develop HIV incidence assays or algorithms with improved specificity. Such biomarkers might be based on evolution of specific viral parameters or host responses in the first year after HIV infection. Additionally, method development for utilizing the biomarker(s) to identify incident cases in a highly accurate, cost effective assay will be supported.

FOA is modified to read (modification in italics):
The objective of this research program is to promote the identification of novel HIV biomarkers that can be used to develop HIV incidence assays or algorithms with improved specificity. Such biomarkers might be based on evolution of specific viral parameters or host responses in the first year after HIV infection. Additionally, method development for utilizing the biomarker(s) to identify incident cases in a highly accurate, cost effective assay will be supported.

NIDCR is interested in applications that aim to identify and characterize biomarkers from oral biospecimens, e.g. saliva, oral swabs, that can serve as incidence markers for HIV infection. NIDCR does not support clinical trials through this FOA.
