Concepts represent early planning stages for program announcements, requests for applications, or solicitations for Council's input. If NIAID publishes an initiative from one of these concepts, we link to it below. To find initiatives, go to Opportunities & Announcements.
NB: Council approval does not guarantee that a concept will become an initiative.

NIH AIDS Reagent Program
Request for Proposals—proposed FY 2019 initiative
Contact: Kishan Patel
Objective: The objective of the NIH AIDS Reagent Program (ARP) is to facilitate HIV/AIDS research by providing access to standardized state-of-the-art reagents, technology, and other research resources to investigators around the world.
Description: This initiative will provide continued support for a contract to acquire state-of-the-art HIV/AIDS-related research and reference reagents; produce reagents, standardized panels, and protocols; and provide these reagents at minimal cost to qualified investigators throughout the world. Additionally, the ARP collects information about AIDS-related reagents and standards and disseminates this information to the research community, enhances technology transfer and publication of methods, and facilitates the availability of reagents through proactive communication with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.
