This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks applications for a research center grant to conduct cross-cutting research on alcohol and HIV/AIDS. Through this FOA, NIAAA seeks to encourage research applications aimed to address the impact of alcohol use on the most important challenges for ending HIV/AIDS pandemic, outlined as the high priority topics of research by the NIH Office of AIDS Research (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-15-137.html). In particular, bench-to-bedside translational studies of alcohol use as a risk factor impacting HIV prevention, latency, treatment effectiveness, and HIV-related comorbidities are strongly encouraged.
Deadlines:
RFA-AA-19-003 Expiration Date April 17, 2019
This FOA supports linked applications. Multiple PDs/PIs are allowed on any single application. Because the FOA already supports a team approach between groups of experts across sites and collaborating applications, the designation of multiple PDs/PIs on a single application may be less likely to apply. PD(s)/PI(s) from each linked application should not be designated as multiple PDs/PIs on each application of a collaborative set.
The PD(s)/PI(s) of at least 1 of the collaborative application(s) must be a currently NIAAA funded PD(s)/PI(s) with established alcohol research programs. The PD(s)/PI(s) of at least 1 of the collaborative application(s) must be have with expertise in HIV/AIDS but may or may not be currently funded by NIAAA.
The application may not exceed $1.2 million direct costs per year.
The maximum project period is 5 years
