HIV Clinical Research Enterprise

Shaping the Future of the NIH HIV Clinical Trials Networks

NIAID supports four research networks as part of its HIV clinical research enterprise. Every seven years, the Institute engages research partners, community representatives, and other public health stakeholders in a multidisciplinary evaluation of network progress toward short- and long-term scientific goals. This process takes account of knowledge gained since the networks were last funded and identifies essential course corrections based on the latest scientific and public health evidence. Subsequent NIAID HIV research investments build on the conclusions of these discussions.

NIAID is currently seeking feedback from the research community, which plays an essential role in shaping NIAID’s scientific direction and research enterprise operations. Please share your questions and comments at NextNIAIDHIVNetworks@mail.nih.gov or in the form below. Please note entries through the form below are anonymous unless contact details are provided. NIAID responses to submitter questions are summarized in a public Q&A.

This page will be updated on an ongoing basis through the beginning of calendar year 2028.
