Notice of Intent to Publish a Request for Applications for Mechanisms of Drug Abuse Interactions with HIV Neuropathogenesis
Notice Number: NOT-DA-06-016
Key Dates
Release Date: July 10, 2006
Issued by
National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), (http://www.nida.nih.gov)
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) intends to issue a funding opportunity
(i.e., a Request for Applications, or RFA), Mechanisms of Drug Abuse
Interactions with HIV Neuropathogenesis, in the summer of 2006. The
goal of this RFA is to solicit applications aimed at understanding how acute
and chronic administration of addictive drugs affects HIV neuroinvasion, neuropathogenesis,
glial activation and inflammation, and subsequent neuronal dysfunction or
damage, as well as elucidate the functional, structural, and neurochemical
consequences of these perturbations. The RFA will encourage a broad range
of interdisciplinary research, using in vitro, animal and human approaches
to address these interactions. It is expected that applicants will clearly
define collaborative relationships that will allow interdisciplinary studies
with multiple perspectives, including drug abuse, virology, neurology, neurobiology,
pharmacology, toxicology, glial activation and inflammation, immunology, molecular
genetics/genomics, and behavior relevant to the consequences of HIV infection.
The RFA will also encourage the use of existing resources (such as genomic/proteomic
databases, animal repositories, brain banks, or pre-established clinical/basic
research networks) in novel ways to address interactions between drug abuse
and HIV infection as appropriate.
