NIAID - National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases

Project Summary The AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) has been at the forefront of clinical research to advance HIV therapeutics and improve the health of people living with HIV/AIDS for 30 years. Rigorous scientific research conducted by the ACTG has laid the cornerstones for current HIV treatment guidelines. In this application for the competitive renewal of the ACTG we propose a transformative research agenda that draws on an international consortium of leading clinical and laboratory HIV investigators in collaboration with a world-class Statistics and Data Management Center to design and conduct innovative interventional clinical trials that will significantly reduce the global burden of disease due to HIV, TB and hepatitis B. The Leadership and Operations Center (LOC) provides scientific leadership and fiscal and organizational management of the ACTG. The ACTG Executive Committee (AEC) will serve as the overarching governing body of the network. The AEC is guided by an Executive Management Committee that includes the Network Chairs, Chief Quality Officer and the Chairs of the Laboratory and Statistical and Data Management Centers. Transformative Science Groups will oversee the development and execution of the ACTG research agenda, which will be coordinated and prioritized by the Scientific Agenda Steering Committee (SASC). Protocol development, implementation, training and network evaluation will be facilitated by the Network Clinical Core at Social & Scientific Systems, Inc. The LOC financial management group (Admin Core) at the University of California, Los Angeles will oversee resource management and protocol fund distribution at the direction of the AEC. The LOC will assure the engagement of Community in all aspects of the ACTG, and will coordinate communication between all three components of the network. Specific aims of this proposal include: 1) Identify interventions to reduce HIV reservoirs and control HIV replication in the absence of ART; 2) Test novel and durable interventions targeting HIV infection; 3) Improve the treatment and prevention of drug sensitive and drug resistant tuberculosis; 4) Prevent or improve the treatment of HIV-related non-infectious co-morbidities and evaluate strategies to cure hepatitis B virus infection in people with and without HIV.

U.S. National Science Foundation

NSF s goal for high performance computing (HPC) in the period 2006-2011 is to enable petascale science and engineering through the deployment and support of a world-class HPC environment comprising the most capable combination of HPC assets available to the academic community. The petascale HPC environment will enable investigations of computationally challenging problems that require computing systems capable of delivering sustained performance approaching 1015 floating point operations per second (petaflops) on real applications, that consume large amounts of memory, and/or that work with very large data sets. Among other things, researchers will be able to perform simulations that are intrinsically multi-scale or that involve the simultaneous interaction of multiple processes. HPC Resource Providers - those organizations willing to acquire, deploy and operate HPC systems in service to the broad science and engineering research and education community - play a key role in the provision and support of a national HPC environment. With this solicitation, NSF requests proposals from organizations, or groups of organizations, willing to serve as a petascale HPC Resource Provider, and who propose to acquire and deploy a new, state-of-the-art, petascale HPC system. A competitive, petascale HPC system will: *Enable researchers to work on a range of computationally-challenging science and engineering applications at the frontiers of research; *Incorporate reliable, robust system software essential to optimal sustained performance; *Provide a high degree of stability and usability; and, *Function as a community-driven resource that actively engages the research and education communities in petascale science and engineering. A robust and effective HPC acquisition process, driven by the requirements of the science and engineering research and education community, is one of the key elements of NSF s HPC strategy. Accordingly, the desired capabilities of the system to be acquired are defined in terms of performance on model problems.
