Creation of Ryan White Title IV List of Research Protocols

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration.

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.

    Dated: April 13, 1998.

Acting Administrator.
