The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is offering this grant to support research into the mechanisms of HIV-1 persistence within myeloid cells and to develop strategies for targeting these viral reservoirs in the central nervous system. This grant is specifically for basic and translational research, inviting applications globally. Its purpose is to advance our understanding and develop new interventions for eradicating HIV-1 from the brain. While multidisciplinary teams are encouraged, they are not required. The R21 mechanism is best suited for high-risk, high-payoff projects that may have limited or existing preliminary data, distinguishing it from the R01 mechanism, which typically requires more robust preliminary findings.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites research grant applications studying mechanisms of HIV-1 persistence in myeloid cells and strategies to target this reservoir in the central nervous system. Basic and translational research in domestic and international settings are of interest. Multidisciplinary research teams and collaborative alliances are encouraged but not required. RFA-MH-18-300 uses the R01 grant mechanism while RFA-MH-18-301 uses the R21 mechanism. High risk/high payoff projects that lack preliminary data or utilize existing data may be most appropriate for the R21 mechanism, while applicants with preliminary data may wish to apply using the R01 mechanism. |
