Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Advancing Biomedical Research in Pulmonary Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacterial (NTM) Infections

This NOSI aims to stimulate advances in diagnosis and treatment of NTM infections that cause or exacerbate pulmonary disease such as Mycobacterium abscessus, Mycobacterium avium complex, and Mycobacterium kansasii.  Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

HIV Prevention and Alcohol (R34 Clinical Trials Optional)

The FOA seeks to expand the HIV/AIDS prevention toolkit among alcohol impacted populations with a range of patterns of episodic and long-term use and associated behavioral and biological risks for HIV acquisition. This includes integration of effective prevention and treatment interventions with an understanding of the overarching framework for reducing the incidence of new infections by facilitating cross-cutting informative research.

The US HIV Prevention and Alcohol (R01 Clinical Trials Optional)

The FOA seeks to expand the HIV/AIDS prevention toolkit among alcohol impacted populations with a range of patterns of episodic and long-term use and associated behavioral and biological risks for HIV acquisition. This includes integration of effective prevention and treatment interventions with an understanding of the overarching framework for reducing the incidence of new infections by facilitating cross-cutting informative research.

Mpox Symptom Monitoring

This fact sheet discusses how mpox can spread to anyone through close (often skin-to-skin) contact. This includes intimate contact (kissing, touching, any kind of sex). If your partner has mpox, avoid sex or being intimate until all sores have healed and a fresh layer of skin has formed.

Mpox Virus

This fact sheet discusses how mpox is a rare but potentially serious disease that is caused by the mpox virus. The mpox virus is from the same family of viruses as the smallpox virus. The symptoms of mpox are similar to smallpox symptoms, but are less severe. It is also less transmissible than smallpox, and rarely fatal. The mpox virus can spread from infected humans, animals, and materials contaminated with the virus. The mpox virus is characterized by a new unexplained rash and skin lesions.
