This opportunity supports research that advances understanding of HIV/AIDS as it relates to the mission areas of the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD): hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, and language. The program encourages hypothesis-driven basic, translational, clinical, and epidemiological research, including multidisciplinary collaborations between investigators in communication disorders and HIV/AIDS. Projects may include studies on the impact of HIV infection and therapies on communication functions, development of prevention or treatment strategies for comorbid communication disorders in people living with HIV, and leveraging existing HIV/AIDS cohorts or clinical infrastructure. Only low-risk clinical trials are permitted under this announcement.
