NIH AIDS Reagent Program Provides standardized reagents and new technologies to the AIDS research community • Viruses • Cell lines, hybridomas • Monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies • DNA clones, DNA libraries, expression vectors • Recombinant proteins, synthetic peptides • Reference panels for: • PCR • HIV subtyping • Drug resistant viruses • Neutralizing antibodies and sera • Antiviral drug standards http://www.aidsreagents.org
U.S. institutions with funding to provide shared infrastructure support for HIV research CFARs support a multidisciplinary, collaborative environment that promotes basic, clinical, behavioral, and translational research in the prevention, detection, and treatment of HIV infection and AIDS. Web site: www.niaid.nih.gov/LabsAndResources/resources/cfar
CFAR • One mission of the CFAR is to strengthen capacity for HIV/AIDS research in developing countries. • CFARs accomplish this through a variety of ways including: • Establishment of Cores abroad which provide training, services and expertise to local investigators • Provide funding for pilot projects with an international component through the CFAR Developmental Core • Offer training/mentorship in-country or in US • Access to databases, repositories, computer-based training
CFARs are a Trans-NIH Program Co-funded by nine NIH Institutes: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) National Cancer Institute (NCI) National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) National Institute on Mental Health (NIMH) National Institute on Aging (NIA) National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) Co-managed by the NIH Institutes above, and by: Office of AIDS Research (OAR) Fogarty International Center (FIC)

Creative and Novel Ideas in HIV Research (CNIHR)Encouraging Innovation in HIV Research • Goal: to attract both international and U.S.-based early stage investigators from outside the field of HIV research • Up to 2 yrs, $150k per year Direct Costs • Concept sheets (2 pages) will be submitted by October 16, 2013 www.cnihr.org
These are U01, collaborative grants, which establishinternational regional centers • Foster collaboration on HIV research on regional and global level • Advance methodology for collection and harmonization of data • Address research questions using data sets

HIV/AIDS Research in the NCI • The NCI conducts substantial extramural and intramural research programs focused on HIV-associated malignancies. • These programs include epidemiology, basic science, translational science, and clinical research. • The NCI is currently expanding the international focus of these efforts. • The NCI also conducts intramural research on HIV infection.
Cancers in HIV Disease AIDS-DefiningVirus • Kaposi’s Sarcoma HHV-8 • Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma EBV, HHV-8 (systemic and CNS) • Invasive Cervical Carcinoma HPV Non-AIDS Defining • Anal Cancer HPV • Hodgkin’s Disease EBV • Lung • Leiomyosarcoma (pediatric) EBV • Hepatoma HBV, HCV
