Normally NIH lists in its announcements the number and title of affected individual programs for the guidance of the public. Because the guidance in this notice covers virtually every NIH and Federal research program in which DNA recombinant molecule techniques could be used, it has been determined not to be cost effective or in the public interest to attempt to list these programs. Such a list would likely require several additional pages. In addition, NIH could not be certain that every Federal program would be included as many Federal agencies, as well as private organizations, both national and international, have elected to follow the NIH Guidelines.

This plan is designed to identify and articulate possible future directions to maximize benefits of investments in HIV/AIDS research. DATES: The Office of AIDS Research Request for Information is open for public comment for a period of 30 days. Comments must be received by June 27, 2016 to ensure consideration. After the public comment period has closed, the comments received will be considered in a timely manner by the Office of AIDS Research in the Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives. ADDRESSES: Submissions may be electronically to OAR_RFI18@ od.nih.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions about this request for information should be directed to Shoshana Kahana, Ph.D., Office of AIDS Research, Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives, Office of the Director, National Institutes of Health, 5601 Fishers Lane, Bethesda, MD 20892, OAR_RFI18@od.nih.gov, 301–496–0357. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OAR oversees and coordinates the conduct and support of all HIV/AIDS research activities at the NIH. The NIHsponsored HIV/AIDS research program includes both extramural and intramural research, buildings and facilities, research training, and program evaluation and supports a comprehensive portfolio of research representing a broad range of basic, clinical, behavioral, social science, and translational research on HIV/AIDS and its associated coinfections. The NIH HIV/AIDS research program is conducted and supported by nearly all of the NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs). OAR plans and coordinates research through the development of an annual Trans-NIH Plan for HIV-Related Research (the ‘‘Plan’’) that articulates the overarching HIV/AIDS research priorities and serves as the framework for developing the trans-NIH AIDS research budget. The Plan provides information about the NIH’s HIV/AIDS research priorities to the scientific community, Congress, community stakeholders, HIV-affected communities, PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and the broad public at large. The fiscal year 2017 Plan was recently distributed on the OAR Web site: (https:// www.oar.nih.gov/strategic_plan/fy2017/ OARStrategicPlan2017.pdf). New overarching priorities for HIV/ AIDS research for the next three to five years were defined in the NIH Director’s Statement of August 12, 2015 (https:// grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/ NOT-OD-15-137.html). High Priority topics of research for support include: (1) Reducing the incidence of HIV/ AIDS (including the development of a safe and effective vaccine, microbicides, and pre-exposure prophylaxis candidates); (2) Developing the next generation of HIV therapies with less toxicity, better safety, and ease of use; (3) Identifying strategies to cure AIDS; and (4) Improving the prevention and treatment of HIV-associated comorbidities, coinfections, and complications. There also are three cross-cutting areas associated with these overarching priorities which include: (1) Basic research underlying the basic biology of HIV (e.g., transmission and pathogenesis; immune dysfunction and chronic inflammation; host microbiome and genetic determinants); (2) Research to reduce health disparities in the incidence of new HIV infections or in treatment outcomes of those living with HIV/AIDS; and (3) Research training of the workforce required to conduct high priority HIV/ AIDS research. Information Requested OAR is seeking input on the inclusion of important new and/or emerging areas of scientific investigation to inform the development of the fiscal year 2018 Trans-NIH Plan for HIV-Related Research. The overarching high-priority areas of research as delineated in NOT– 15–137 will remain unchanged. OAR would like feedback on those scientific and research opportunities that refine the NIH HIV/AIDS research agenda and optimize the investment of HIV/AIDS research resources to search for critical strategies to prevent, treat, and cure AIDS. Please provide your perspective on any of the following topics as they relate to the development of the fiscal year 2018 Trans-NIH Plan for HIV-Related Research. Comments can include but are not limited to the following areas: 1. Emerging strategies and technologies related to the development, testing, and production of promising HIV vaccine candidates (active and E:\FR\FM\27MYN1.SGM 27MYN1
