Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 11844 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 32 / Thursday, February 15, 2024 / Notices Goal 1: Enhance discovery and advance HIV science through fundamental research. Description: Fundamental research seeks to expand understanding of the biological, physiological, interpersonal, and social-structural mechanisms of HIV—i.e., how it operates as a virus and as an infectious disease pandemic—at the molecular, cellular, individual, community, and population level. This understanding provides the foundation for the development of safe, effective, and scalable tools to prevent, treat, and ultimately cure HIV infection, as well as reduce the risk and impact of comorbid conditions and co-occurring infections. Fundamental research includes theoretical, pre-clinical, and methodological research across scientific disciplines. Goal 2: Advance the development and assessment of novel interventions for HIV prevention, treatment, and cure. Description: Knowledge gleaned from fundamental, pre-clinical, and translational research to inform clinical trials and other intervention studies to test the most promising products, tools, or strategies for HIV prevention, treatment, and cure and management of its complications. Rigorous randomized control trials, observational studies, and other methodologies assess biological, behavioral, and social outcomes of novel interventions, as well as their feasibility, acceptability, effectiveness, and scalability in differing populations and across the lifespan. Goal 3: Optimize public health impact of HIV discoveries through translation, dissemination, and implementation of research findings. Description: As HIV prevention, treatment, and cure interventions are shown to be efficacious, their findings must be translated to inform practice and to connect with communities and the general public in order to maximize their public health impact. Implementation research can identify how best to facilitate effective adaptation, uptake, integration, and scale-up of evidence-based HIV interventions. Information-sharing through community partnerships, research collaborations, and dissemination activities can amplify the impact of research and promote health equity. Goal 4: Build research workforce and infrastructure capacity to enhance sustainability of HIV scientific discovery. Description: Continued progress in HIV science and its application requires robust support for research tools, computational resources, instrumentation, data and physical VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:36 Feb 14, 2024 Jkt 262001 infrastructure, and workforce development, particularly in institutions that serve underrepresented or high HIV burden populations or that historically have been underfunded in the United States and globally. Such enhanced capacity-strengthening efforts will promote diversity and inclusion in the HIV research workforce. Respondents are also invited to share comments on the new framework.
