National Institutes of Health has archived this opportunity.
Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Dates: May 7, 2025 | September 7, 2025 | January 7, 2026 | Current expiration: January 8, 2026
Funding Amounts: No budget limit; project period up to 5 years; budgets must reflect actual project needs.
Summary: Supports multidisciplinary research to advance understanding and management of HIV/AIDS and aging, including biological, clinical, and socio-behavioral aspects.
Key Information: The program expires January 8, 2026 (early expiration); only AIDS-related standard due dates apply.
This funding opportunity supports multidisciplinary research at the intersection of HIV/AIDS and aging, encouraging studies that improve understanding of biological, clinical, and socio-behavioral aspects of aging in the context of HIV infection and its treatment. Projects may also focus on developing or improving approaches for HIV testing, prevention, and treatment, as well as managing HIV-related comorbidities, co-infections, and complications using current aging science approaches. Applications must align with NIH Office of AIDS Research (OAR) priorities.
Research may be basic, translational, or clinical, and can include human studies, animal models, or in vitro approaches if they are directly relevant to clinical features of HIV/AIDS and aging. Projects are encouraged to enroll older adults (especially those 70+), include geriatric outcomes, leverage existing NIH resources, and carefully define control populations and phenotypes.
Multiple NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices participate, each with specific interests (e.g., comorbidities, neurocognitive decline, cancer, substance use, mental health, oral health, musculoskeletal diseases, and women’s health). Applicants are encouraged to contact scientific/research contacts for guidance on fit.
