EXTENSION OF COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS: WOMEN AND INFANTS TRANSMISSIONSTUDY NIH GUIDE, Volume 25, Number 28, August 16, 1996 P.T. 34, AA, II Keywords: AIDS Infectious Diseases/Agents Epidemiology Diagnosis, Medical National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases National Institute of Child Health and Human Development National Institute of Drug Abuse The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has an active interest in the support of research projects addressing epidemiologic, etiologic, and pathogenetic patterns and trends in HIV infection and AIDS in various population groups. Studies are currently supported that focus on minorities, children, mothers and infants, women, and men. One group of these studies is the Women and Infants Transmission Study (WITS), which was initiated in 1988 and is currently supported through cooperative agreements. In addition to the NIAID, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) support awards in WITS. Because the current awardees have unique access to the study cohorts, study data, and study specimens and have unique expertise with respect to the integration of these elements, the NIAID, NICHD, and NIDA intend to invite applications for competitive renewal of these studies through a competition limited to the current awardees only. Although competition for this cooperative agreement study extension is limited, NIAID wishes to call attention to its ongoing interest in applications for prospective studies related to the etiology, pathogenesis, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of HIV infection and its sequelae.
