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.
