HIV/AIDS Clinical Trials Network Leadership and Operations Centers

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is seeking applications for four Leadership and Operations Centers (LOCs) to provide scientific leadership, research prioritization, and conduct studies in a Clinical Trials Network (CTN). The LOCs will develop the research agenda in one of four areas: HIV therapeutics/cure and prevention/treatment for HIV-associated comorbidities in adults, HIV prevention/treatment in maternal/adolescent/pediatric populations, biomedical HIV prevention strategies for adults/adolescents, and immune-based prevention for HIV and HIV-associated diseases. The CTNs will conduct HIV implementation research to improve the uptake of evidence-based prevention and treatment strategies across the lifespan. • The LOCs will provide scientific leadership and research prioritization for the CTN. • The LOCs will conduct studies in one of the four specified areas. • The CTNs will conduct HIV implementation research to improve the uptake of evidence-based prevention and treatment strategies. • The project aims to produce crucial findings that will significantly benefit Americans with or at-risk of HIV and HIV-associated diseases.
