NIH recognizes that modern physical infrastructure is necessary for the conduct of cutting-edge research or support specialized breeding operation. Dedicated space is required to house specialized equipment and to carry out experimental protocols. Equipment that enables automation and husbandry of the breeding facility, enhances modern operation, allows telemetry for field/corral monitoring, facilitates social behavioral interactions may be eligible under this NOFO. The scope of individual applications will vary and depend on the currently available infrastructure at the applicant institution, as well as the present and anticipated HIV/AIDS research needs. Requests must be justified by the needs for expanding the breeding capacity for support of HIV/AIDS research. The project, when completed, is expected to provide significant long-term cost-effective support for HIV/AIDS research, bringing the capacities and capabilities to a new level. Consequently, the applicant institution should demonstrate future-looking commitments towards the facility and HIV/AIDS research therein, by attaching a letter of support from a high-ranking institutional official.
