This grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering funding for small, proof-of-concept clinical trials. Its primary aim is to investigate interventions with known mechanisms of action that can address chronic immune activation or persistent inflammation in individuals living with HIV. The focus is specifically on HIV-infected patients who are already on effective antiretroviral therapy. These trials must include concurrent, intensive laboratory studies. The ultimate purpose of this initiative is to pinpoint and understand specific biological mechanisms or pathways that can be effectively targeted. This knowledge will then be used to prevent or reverse persistent immune activation and inflammation, thereby improving long-term health outcomes for HIV patients.

| Description: | This FOA solicits applications that propose small proof-of-concept clinical trials, with concurrent intensive laboratory studies, designed to evaluate the effect of an intervention on chronic immune activation or persistent inflammation in HIV-infected individuals who are taking effective antiretroviral therapy. The intervention must have a known mechanism of action. The goal of this initiative is to identify specific mechanisms or pathways that can be targeted to prevent or reverse persistent immune activation in HIV-infected individuals. |
