    OAR oversees and coordinates the conduct and support of all HIV/
AIDS research activities across the NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs). 
The NIH-sponsored HIV/AIDS research program includes both extramural 
and intramural research, buildings and facilities, research training, 
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 and comorbidities.
    OAR plans and coordinates research through the development of an 
annual Trans-NIH Plan for HIV-Related Research that articulates the 
overarching HIV/AIDS research priorities and serves as the framework 
for developing the trans-NIH HIV/AIDS research budget. This Plan 
provides information about the NIH's HIV/AIDS research priorities to 
the scientific community, Congress, community stakeholders, HIV-
affected communities, and the broad public at large. The fiscal year 
2018 Trans-NIH Plan for HIV-Related Research was recently distributed 
on the OAR Web site: (https://www.oar.nih.gov/strategic_plan/plan_18.asp).
    New overarching priorities for HIV/AIDS research 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;
    (2) Developing the next generation of HIV therapies;
    (3) Identifying strategies towards a cure;
    (4) Improving the prevention and treatment of HIV-associated 
comorbidities, coinfections, and complications; and
    (5) Cross-cutting basic research, behavioral and social science 
research, health disparities, and training.
    This RFI is for planning purposes only and should not be construed 
as a solicitation for applications or proposals, or as an obligation in 
any way on the part of the United States federal government. The 
federal government will not pay for the preparation of any information 
submitted or for the government's use. Additionally, the government 
cannot guarantee the confidentiality of the information provided.
