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.
