## What the grant funds

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement is to provide continuing support for specific pathogen-free (SPF) macaque colonies previously funded under the auspices of PAR-18-669 and PAR-14-066. Breeding colonies are essential to sustain appropriate macaques for research related to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Pedigree SPF macaques are free of certain viruses, which may confound the results of HIV/AIDS-related investigations or present a risk to the personnel who care for the animals. The SPF macaques are genetically characterized for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I types, because MHC class I genotypes have large effects on macaque immune responses to Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV, which can induce AIDS in nonhuman primates (NHP)) and on human immune responses to HIV.
