About This Grant
<p>The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seeks to advance its mission by continuing support for the Centers for AIDS Research (CFAR). The national network of CFARs cooperates with other HHS-funded HIV/AIDS programs to establish and maintain the collaborations and infrastructure required to carry out innovative implementation science research for ending the HIV epidemic domestically. Addressing a complex chronic disease, HIV/AIDS research requires broad scientific expertise, access to unique biological samples, and cutting-edge research technologies that extend beyond the needs of individual research groups. The CFAR program strengthens HIV/AIDS research by providing infrastructure that fosters multidisciplinary collaborations, maximizes efficiencies by reducing duplication of efforts, and leverages economies of scale to facilitate the translation of basic research findings into new HIV treatment, prevention, and cure approaches. A core mission of the CFAR program is to support and mentor early-career investigators and investigators new to HIV/AIDS research by funding pilot studies, emerging research opportunities, and high-risk/high-impact collaborative studies. Grant authorities that allow NIAID to forecast this opportunity are as follows: Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 241 and 284) and under Federal Regulations 42 CFR Part 52 and 2 CFR Part 200.</p>
