This department is offering the Novel NeuroAIDS Therapeutics grant program to develop innovative therapeutic approaches for NeuroAIDS. The grant supports research to address HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders, eradicate persistent HIV-1 from the CNS, prevent HIV-1 establishment in the brain, and assess CNS toxicity of anti-retroviral therapy. Applicants may propose studies using animal models of HIV-1 infection in the CNS. Multi-disciplinary programs focusing on improving neurocognition in HIV-infected individuals are encouraged. Applicants should present a well-defined plan for discovery and early clinical research. Public-private partnerships are also encouraged. Closing date for applications is January 7, 2016.

| Description:: | The National Institute of Mental Health invites research grant applications to develop innovative programs to advance therapeutics for NeuroAIDS. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support research programs that will advance central nervous system (CNS)-focused therapeutic approaches to: a) address HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders in HIV-infected individuals on highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART), b) eradicate persistent HIV-1 from the CNS during chronic infection, c) prevent establishment of HIV-1 in the brain during early infection, and d) assess the potential for CNS toxicity using HAART or candidate drugs that are currently in clinical studies to eradicate HIV-1. Studies to create or adapt existing animal models of HIV-1 infection in the CNS may be proposed to enable assessment of novel HIV CNS-focused therapeutic candidates. Multi-disciplinary, multi-project programs that are focused on improving neurocognition in HIV-infected persons are encouraged. A well defined, synergistic and milestone-driven plan for discovery, preclinical, and/or early clinical hypothesis-driven research should be presented. Public-private partnerships are encouraged but not required. |
