Description

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) invites a limited competing renewal of a cooperative agreement application to evaluate the cumulative and progressive effects on the brain of combined HIV infection and alcohol abuse using advanced in vivo magnetic resonance imaging methods. The investigator will work collaboratively under the cooperative agreement with NIAAA over a five-year period to conduct investigations of the separate and interactive effects of chronic alcohol use and HIV infection on neurocognitive function and brain structural and functional integrity. The long-term goal is to elucidate in vivo markers of neuropathology underlying the cognitive and motor decline observed in heavy drinking HIV-infected individuals or improvement with sustained abstinence from alcohol and their interaction with HIV disease status.
