ACTION: Notice of creation of Ryan White Title IV List of Research Protocols. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This will begin the process of establishing a list of research protocols of potential clinical benefit in the treatment or prevention of HIV to be used as a resource for the Ryan White CARE Act Title IV program. To fulfill its legislative mandate under the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Care (CARE) Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-381), as amended by the Ryan White CARE Act Amendments of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-146), which amended Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act, Part D section 2671(c)(2)(A), the HIV/AIDS Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), is creating a list of research protocols for dissemination to programs that receive Title IV funds to provide clients of those programs the opportunity to consider participating in the research. The list will consist of those protocols that have been determined by the Secretary to possess the potential to contribute to the prevention or treatment of HIV disease in women, children, infants or youth with findings that are generalizable. HRSA is now soliciting research protocols to be considered for the initial listing. Under the Ryan White Title IV program, HRSA is prohibited from funding the research projects. DATES: Research protocols must be postmarked by May 1, 1998, to be considered for the initial listing. All research protocols received after the May 1, 1998, date will be considered on an on-going basis for updated listings. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To submit a project description for consideration for placement on this list of protocols and for further information on the criteria for selection, please contact Ms. Elaine Gross at 1-800-362-0071.
