This grant funds multidisciplinary centers to study 3D structures of molecules involved in HIV and other infectious diseases, aiming to develop new treatments and diagnostic tools.
Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Dates: May 28, 2027 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: $3,500,000 award ceiling; $33,000,000 estimated total program funding
Summary: Supports multidisciplinary centers solving complex biological structures relevant to preventing, treating, and curing HIV and other infectious diseases.
Key Information: Clinical trials are not allowed, and applications involving foreign subawards or subcontracts will not be considered for funding.
This NIH program supports multidisciplinary consortia of structural biologists, microbiologists, and associated experts working to solve complex biological structures related to the prevention, treatment, and cure of HIV and other infectious diseases. Funding is provided through U54 cooperative agreements, with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) serving as the program contact.
Centers are expected to facilitate new collaborations and leverage shared resources while offering services and resources to the broader research community. The program also supports training the next generation of scientists engaged in the structural biology of infectious diseases. Clinical trials are not allowed under this opportunity.
