Synopsis
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seeks to advance its mission by supporting four Clinical Trials Networks (CTNs) each comprised of a Leadership and Operations Center, Statistical and Data Management Center, and Laboratory Center (LC) working with Clinical Trials Units, to test prevention and treatment strategies and conduct implementation research designed to end the HIV epidemic. This NOFO will solicit applications for up to four LCs that will provide laboratory structure and technologies to one or more CTNs and conduct laboratory testing for Network trials, according to regulatory standards. The LC oversees site-affiliated clinical and specialized laboratories and ensures protocol-specified laboratory testing. The LC will: 1) support sample integrity from collection to final testing/storage; 2) use appropriate laboratory data capturing management and tracking systems; 3) select, determine readiness, and approve laboratories; and 4) promote state-of-the-art laboratory assays. The LC will increase testing capacity to meet advances in prevention and treatment of HIV and HIV-related diseases.
Grant authorities that allow NIAID to forecast this opportunity are as follows: Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 241 and 284) and under Federal Regulations 42 CFR Part 52 and 2 CFR Part 200.
