This grant is for the purpose of advancing HIV cure strategies by addressing viral persistence in people living with HIV. It supports coordinated basic, clinical, and applied research aimed at achieving sustained viral remission or eradication of HIV infection. While clinical research is required, the grant explicitly excludes clinical trials. Applications must involve a private sector entity to facilitate rapid translation of discoveries into therapeutic development. The research should be milestone-based, focusing on characterizing HIV-1 reservoirs, understanding post-treatment control of viral rebound, and identifying/testing therapeutic strategies to control, eradicate, or permanently inactivate rebound-competent HIV after antiretroviral therapy discontinuation.

| Description: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to address the problem of HIV persistence in people living with HIV treated with suppressive antiretroviral drug regimens. This FOA will support coordinated basic, clinical, and applied research focused on developing strategies to achieve an HIV cure, defined as either sustained viral remission or eradication of HIV infection. While some aspect of clinical research is required, unlike the previous iteration of this RFA, clinical trials will no longer be supported. The application must include at least one private sector entity to facilitate rapid translation of basic discovery research into therapeutic development and testing. Collaboratory research should be milestone-based and should be focused on specific innovative approaches to characterize and quantify persistent HIV-1 reservoirs and/or understand and predict post-treatment control of viral rebound, identify and test therapeutic strategies to control viral rebound after discontinuation of antiretroviral therapy, and identify and test strategies to eradicate or permanently inactivate rebound-competent HIV. |
