The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to support preclinical activities for the development of safe and effective long-acting/sustained release (LA/SR) technologies for prevention and treatment of HIV and HIV-associated tuberculosis (TB), hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV),
and to ultimately advance these products toward submission of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Solicited LA/SR products will have demonstrated strong rationale, competitive advantage, and effectiveness in appropriate non-clinical or animal models at intermittent dosing from either a single administration (injection, topical, oral administration) or continuous dosing regimen (implant, transdermal patch, etc.).
