项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The National NeuroAIDS Tissue Consortium (NNTC) is a collective tissue and data resourcing program in which the Texas NeuroAIDS Research Center (TNRC; B. Gelman, PI) has continuously participated as a contributing site since Inception In 1998. The NNTC's purpose Is to collect and distribute critical clinical data and tissue specimens from longitudinally-tracked HIV-infected Individuals at high risk for HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) to support Innovative and transformative Investigator-Initiated research In the NeuroAIDS community at large. Beyond supplying tissue specimens the NNTC provides researchers access to relevant in vivo biomarkers, viral loads, gene expression data, neuropathological changes, and associated HAND cognitive status. This enables clinical and basic science-level researchers to incorporate these critical measures Into Investigations of the mechanisms driving HAND, HIV-associated pathological effects of HIV Infection, or potential HAND therapeutic targets. The broad aim of the TNRC application is to continue to provide such resources derived from locally-recruited (Texan) HIV cohorts and to further develop this local resource and the collective strength of the NNTC in addressing the currently changing and future resource needs of the NeuroAIDS community In the HAART era. The TNRC site focuses particularly on resource collection and utilization strategies that fully exploit their research value. The application for continued support to operate the clinic site addresses all aspects of the general operating procedures. Included are recruiting practices, neuropsychological evaluations, substance use surveys, neuromedical protocols, autopsy procedure, and specimen repository management. Strategies to contribute to consortium goals and obtain synergy with the other units of the NNTC are proposed. Continued operation of TNRC will have a lasting and positive impact on the search for remedies for HAND, CNS aging, and other HIV- associated pathological conditions.

描述（由申请人提供）：国家神经艾滋病组织联盟（NNTC）是一个集体组织和数据资源计划，德克萨斯神经艾滋病研究中心（TNRC；B. Gelman，PI）自 1998 年成立以来一直作为贡献站点参与其中NNTC 的目的是收集和分发来自纵向追踪的 HIV 感染者的重要临床数据和组织样本，这些人患有 HIV 相关神经认知障碍 (HAND) 高风险。支持整个 NeuroAIDS 社区中研究者发起的创新和变革性研究。除了提供组织样本外，NNTC 还为研究人员提供相关的体内生物标志物、病毒载量、基因表达数据、神经病理学变化和相关的 HAND 认知状态。这使得临床和基础科学水平的研究人员能够将这些关键措施纳入对 HAND 驱动机制、HIV 感染的 HIV 相关病理效应或潜在的 HAND 治疗靶点的研究中。 TNRC 申请的广泛目标是继续提供来自当地招募的（德克萨斯州）艾滋病毒队列的资源，并进一步开发这种当地资源和 NNTC 的集体力量，以满足 NeuroAIDS 当前不断变化和未来的资源需求社区在HAART时代。 TNRC 网站特别关注充分发挥其研究价值的资源收集和利用策略。申请持续支持诊所运营涉及一般操作程序的所有方面。其中包括招募实践、神经心理学评估、物质使用调查、神经医学协议、尸检程序和样本库管理。提出了为联盟目标做出贡献并与 NNTC 其他单位取得协同作用的策略。 TNRC 的持续运作将对寻找 HAND、CNS 老化和其他 HIV 相关病理状况的治疗方法产生持久和积极的影响。
