Interdisciplinary Research on Oral Manifestations of HIV/AIDS in Vulnerable Populations (P01)

archived

-Purpose. The primary goal of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to drive interdisciplinary research to study the oral manifestations and complications associated with HIV/AIDS-related immunosuppression in vulnerable populations, including children and adolescents. The applicants are expected to develop highly integrated projects that comprehensively address the existing gaps in knowledge of the epidemiology, prevention and pathogenesis of the oral complications of HIV disease and that promote interventions that could reduce the burden of disease among disproportionately affected racial and ethnic minority communities. Regardless of the theme, projects in each multidisciplinary program will be expected to be synergistic and to utilize cutting-edge approaches such as genomics, proteomics, molecular imaging and other emerging technologies to achieve their goals. In addition, it is expected that these projects will provide interdisciplinary career development opportunities for investigators new to the field of oral AIDS. Applicants are encouraged to include pediatric/adolescent populations in their research. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Program Project (P01) award mechanism.
