About this opportunity

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seeks applicants for Clinical Trials Units (CTUs) to conduct HIV/AIDS clinical trials and implementation research under a cooperative agreement funding instrument, as a forecast announcement posted April 8, 2026.

Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), city and county governments, state governments, tribal governments (federally and non-federally recognized), 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, small businesses, for-profit organizations, independent school districts, public or Indian housing authorities, special district governments, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, foreign institutions, and eligible federal agencies.

Each CTU will comprise an administrative hub and domestic and/or international clinical research sites designed to conduct multiple randomized controlled clinical studies from more than one Clinical Trials Network, access and retain relevant study participants, and execute implementation research targeted to end the HIV epidemic. CTUs work within a broader network structure consisting of a Leadership and Operations Center, Statistical and Data Management Center, and Laboratory Center per network. International studies are expected to produce findings benefiting Americans with or at-risk of HIV or HIV-associated diseases.

The opportunity is assigned to two federal grant programs: Trans-NIH Research Support (CFDA 93.310) and Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855). Authority derives from Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act (42 USC 241 and 284) and 42 CFR Part 52 and 2 CFR Part 200.

The source does not specify award ceiling, award floor, expected number of awards, cost share requirements, period of performance, evaluation criteria weighting, or incumbent recipients.

Forecast synopsis

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seeks to advance the National Institutes of Health (NIH) mission by supporting four Clinical Trials Networks (CTNs) each comprised of a Leadership and Operations Center, Statistical and Data Management Center, and Laboratory Center working with Clinical Trials Units (CTUs), to advance prevention and treatment research on HIV and HIV-associated diseases. CTNs will conduct randomized controlled clinical studies at CTUs testing innovative strategies and conduct implementation research targeted to end the HIV epidemic. This NOFO will solicit applications for CTUs providing scientific expertise to conduct these clinical trials and implementation research studies. Each CTU will include an administrative hub and domestic and/or international Clinical Research Sites to promote efficient utilization of resources and infrastructure. CTUs conduct multiple clinical studies, from more than one CTN, and can access, recruit, and retain relevant study participants. International studies produce crucial findings significantly benefiting Americans with or at-risk of HIV or HIV-related diseases.

Grant authorities that allow NIAID to forecast this opportunity are as follows: Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 241 and 284) and under Federal Regulations 42 CFR Part 52 and 2 CFR Part 200.
