Studies of HIV in Digestive Diseases Limited to Gastrointestinal Mucosal Immunology and Liver Diseases (R01- Clinical Trial Optional)

Funding Opportunity RFA-DK-17-038 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The goal of this FOA is to support innovative, basic and translational research in two areas, gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal immunology and liver disease. The emphasis for GI mucosal immunology is on elucidation of mechanisms whereby innate and adaptive immunity in the GI tract interacts with HIV infection in the presence or absence of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and contributes to HIV infection, persistence, disruption of GI homeostasis, and pathogenesis. The emphasis for liver disease is on pathophysiologic mechanisms of injury to the liver and the biliary system during HIV infection and epidemiological studies of liver diseases and disorders in HIV patients.
