The ARC program supports innovative research across basic, neuro-HIV, behavioral and social, clinical, translational, implementation science, and data science domains. Centers are expected to foster scientific collaboration, accelerate innovation, and strengthen dissemination of research advances to implementing agencies, affected communities, and other stakeholders. Applications should align with the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, the NIH Office of AIDS Research (OAR) Strategic Plan, and the NIMH Strategic Plan for HIV research. Applications are not being solicited at this time. This notice is being issued to provide potential applicants with ample time to develop strong, collaborative, and responsive project plans.
