Beyond HAART: Innovative Approaches to Cure HIV-1 (U19)

archived

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications from institutions/organizations to participate in the "Beyond HAART: Innovative Approaches to Cure HIV-1" initiative. The purpose of this FOA is to encourage investigators to work together on innovative approaches to eliminate HIV-1 and leverage the expertise and resources of the participating Institutes. Research topics of interest are as follows: cell therapies, including those based on hematopoietic stem cells; novel gene therapy approaches; and the development and delivery of non-traditional antiviral strategies (e.g. miRNAs, siRNAs, gene-editing enzymes). Applications are expected to include basic science/preclinical research as well as translational activities such as test-of-concept studies in animal models or humans. Applications must be designed as collaborative efforts between academia and the private sector.
