EXTENSION OF MULTICENTER AIDS COHORT STUDY (MACS) Release Date: February 20, 1998 P.T. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) supports research addressing HIV epidemiology and pathogenesis in various population groups. Studies are currently supported that focus on minorities, children, mothers and infants, women, and men. One group of these studies is the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS), which was initiated in 1983 and is currently supported through cooperative agreements. Because the current awardees have unique access to the study cohorts, study data, and study specimens, the NIAID intends to invite applications for competitive renewal of the MACS cooperative agreements through a competition limited to the current awardees only. Basic laboratory research using specimens obtained from the MACS will not be included in any resultant awards; such studies will only be supported through an open competition. Although competition for this cooperative agreement study extension is limited, NIAID wishes to call attention to its ongoing interest in applications for prospective studies related to the etiology, pathogenesis, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of HIV infection and its sequellae.
