NINDS Neuroscience Funding Announcements

Preclinical Therapeutics Development for NeuroAIDS

Funding Contact(s): May Wong, Ph.D.
Funding Categories: Neural Environment

Brief Description:
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage the development and/or validation of new in vitro and in vivo models of HIV or HAART-related neurotoxicity that show promise for use in the screening of novel CNS and PNS-targeted therapeutic compounds. Ideally, such models would facilitate the screening of compounds or therapeutic approaches which protect neuronal and glial cells of the CNS from damage in response to HIV and possibly other stresses, such as injury or associated inflammatory insults.
