About This Grant

<p>This NOFO is issued during a period of accelerating development, validation, and adoption of human new approach methodologies (NAMs). Accordingly, it has two integrated priorities for NIH-funded HIV/AIDS research: (1) implementation of a NAMs-enabled stewardship framework, including optional HIV-relevant human <i>in vitro</i> testing support and pilot benchmarking activities, to reduce or replace specific pathogen free (SPF) <i>in vivo</i> model use where scientifically appropriate without compromising rigor, reproducibility, or translational relevance; and (2) support for high-quality SPF colony resources for studies in which well-characterized <i>in vivo</i> models remain scientifically necessary.</p><p>Under the NAMs-enabled component, required elements include: (1) integration of a NAMs triage and consultation service within request intake and allocation workflows to identify NAM-feasible studies and document reductions or replacements in <i>in vivo</i> use; and (2) establishment of a formal referral pathway to NAM centers as well as human tissue and other human science based resources to facilitate collaborative HIV-relevant human NAM development, benchmarking, and refinement. Applicants may also propose optional NAMs-enabled HIV human <i>in vitro</i> testing support (research use only), including standardized operating procedures, quality control frameworks, and user guidance for viral load quantification, drug resistance assessment, and <i>ex vivo</i> susceptibility assays, as well as optional pilot benchmarking projects to define performance metrics, quality control benchmarks, and context-of-use statements for HIV-relevant human NAMs.</p><p>Under the SPF resource component, the award will support core colony operations, including colony management and husbandry; transparent, merit-based request intake and allocation; comprehensive virologic surveillance and rapid mitigation to preserve SPF status; and high-resolution immunogenetic characterization (e.g., MHC typing) to enable rigorous, genotype-informed study design and efficient stewardship of limited <i>in vivo</i> resources.</p>
