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 of these studies is the WOMEN'S
INTERAGENCY HIV STUDY (WIHS), which was initiated in 1993 and is
currently supported through cooperative agreements.  In addition to
the NIAID, the National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development (NICHD), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the
National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Institute of Dental
Research (NIDR) support awards in the WIHS.  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, the NICHD, the NIDA, the
NCI and the NIDR 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.
