This FOA will support research on the development and validation of innovative strategies to deliver anti-HIV gene therapies efficiently to specific target cells in vivo. There is a significant gap in knowledge of how to deliver therapies efficiently to reservoir sites or specific cell subsets in vivo (for example HIV-infected cells in tissue sanctuaries or rare central memory stem cells) for more effective treatment and/or eradication of HIV. Some of the challenges to be overcome with in vivo gene therapeutic strategies are: inefficient delivery to specific target cells and sites, selective regulation of genetic payload expression to maximize on-target efficacy and minimize off-target effects, and the potential immunogenicity of delivery vectors and the transgenes themselves.

This FOA will support research on the development and validation of innovative strategies to deliver anti-HIV gene therapies efficiently to specific target cells in vivo. There is a significant gap in knowledge of how to deliver therapies efficiently to reservoir sites or specific cell subsets in vivo (for example HIV-infected cells in tissue sanctuaries or rare central memory stem cells) for more effective treatment and/or eradication of HIV. Some of the challenges to be overcome with in vivo gene therapeutic strategies are: inefficient delivery to specific target cells and sites, selective regulation of genetic payload expression to maximize on-target efficacy and minimize off-target effects, and the potential immunogenicity of delivery vectors and the transgenes themselves.
