HIV/AIDS Clinical Trials Network Laboratory Centers

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is seeking to support four Clinical Trials Networks (CTNs) to test prevention and treatment strategies and conduct implementation research designed to end the HIV epidemic. This opportunity will solicit applications for up to four Laboratory Centers (LCs) that will provide laboratory structure and technologies to one or more CTNs and conduct laboratory testing for Network trials. The LC will be responsible for supporting sample integrity, using laboratory data capturing management and tracking systems, selecting and approving laboratories, and promoting state-of-the-art laboratory assays. The key responsibilities of the LC will include: • Supporting sample integrity from collection to final testing/storage • Using appropriate laboratory data capturing management and tracking systems • Selecting, determining readiness, and approving laboratories • Promoting state-of-the-art laboratory assays • Increasing testing capacity to meet advances in prevention and treatment of HIV and HIV-related diseases
