Using Archived Data and Specimen Collections to Advance Maternal and Pediatric HIV/AIDS Research (R21 CT Not Allowed)
About
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity is to address the needs of the maternal and pediatric HIV scientific community for research data translation and sharing. This initiative will support secondary data analyses using archived HIV/AIDS data and specimens. The goal of this initiative is to encourage the scientific community to utilize HIV/AIDS archived data sets and specimen collections to answer important questions about the epidemiology, pathogenesis, treatment, clinical manifestations, and HIV-associated co-infections and co-morbidities in maternal, pediatric and adolescent populations.
This grant program is designed for researchers, scientists, and research institutions focused on maternal and pediatric HIV/AIDS research who want to leverage existing archived data and specimen collections to advance their work. The funding supports secondary data analyses using previously collected HIV/AIDS datasets and biological specimens, enabling researchers to answer critical questions about epidemiology, pathogenesis, treatment outcomes, clinical manifestations, and HIV-associated co-infections and co-morbidities in maternal, pediatric, and adolescent populations. This initiative is ideal for researchers seeking to maximize the value of existing research resources while minimizing data collection costs. By applying for this grant, you can accelerate discoveries in maternal and pediatric HIV/AIDS research, contribute to the scientific understanding of disease mechanisms and treatment effectiveness, and advance public health outcomes for vulnerable populations. The program welcomes both domestic U.S. organizations and international collaborations, making it accessible to a broad range of qualified research teams. This is an excellent opportunity for researchers who have innovative questions but limited resources for primary data collection, as it emphasizes data translation and knowledge sharing within the maternal and pediatric HIV scientific community.
