Grant Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) solicits basic and pre-clinical research applications that study the combined and interactive effects of substance abuse and HIV-1 infection on glial cell biology. Glial cells express a variety of neurotransmitter receptors, transporters, and other molecular entities that are targets of drugs of abuse. Additionally, viral and host responses to HIV-1 infection usurp and alter glial cell function. The goal of this FOA is to encourage research to determine the molecular and cellular consequences of substance abuse, HIV-1 infection, and their interactions on glial cells within the central nervous system (CNS).
