Using Archived Data and Specimen Collections to Advance Maternal and Pediatric HIV/AIDS Research (R21 CT Not Allowed)

Funds secondary analysis of archived HIV/AIDS data and specimens from maternal, pediatric and adolescent populations, without collecting anything new.

This notice funds going back into that archive rather than starting a new cohort.

The work is secondary data analysis only, using existing HIV/AIDS data sets and specimen collec

Secondary data analysis using archived HIV/AIDS data sets and specimen collections — no new data collection — to study epidemiology, pathogenesis, treatment, clinical manifestations, and HIV-associated co-infections and co-morbidities in maternal, pediatric and adolescent populations.
