This FOA issued by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH), invites research grant applications (R01) from organizations that are looking to “stimulate the discovery, design and early preclinical evaluation of highly innovative, risky but rational approaches that could provide long-term protection from acquiring HIV infection.” Recent research has been slowed down due to various causes, therefore the medical community is looking to bolster the resources available to organizations that are making innovative discoveries. NIAID intends to commit approximately $4M in total costs in FY 2010 to fund 5-10 applications submitted in response to this FOA.
