DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal to fund the "Western New England Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials Unit (WNE-MPAACTU)" is submitted in response to RFA-AI-05-002. The WNE-MPAACTU is a consortium of clinical sites consisting of a main unit at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, MA, and Clinical Trials Sites at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, MA and Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford, CT. Consortium investigators have worked together since 1990 to define the pathogenesis of mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission (MTCT) and pediatric HIV-1 infection and are highly experienced in the design and implementation of pathogenesis-based clinical trials. WNE-MPAACTU goals are: 1) To improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of MTCT and pediatric HIV-1 infection; 2) To improve prevention strategies for pediatric and adolescent HIV-1 infection, including the development of an effective preventive vaccine; and 3) To improve treatment strategies for pediatric and adolescent HIV-1 infection, including the management of co-morbidities and ART toxicities. These goals are most aligned with the goals of the International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent Clinical Trials (IMPAACT) network, which will conduct Vaccine, Translational Research/Drug Development, Optimization of Clinical Care, and Prevention of MFCT studies. Based on past performance and projected accruals, WNE-PACTU has been selected as an IMPAACT "highly-preferred core site". WNE-MPAACTU investigators have played leadership roles in IMPAACT's development and will continue to contribute to the IMPAACT scientific agenda through leadership, training and mentorship, and protocol design, implementation, and accrual. ADMINISTRATIVE COMPONENT:

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案旨在资助“西新英格兰孕产妇儿科青少年艾滋病临床试验单位 (WNE-MPAACTU)”，是为了回应 RFA-AI-05-002 而提交的。 WNE-MPAACTU 是一个临床中心联盟，由位于马萨诸塞州伍斯特市的马萨诸塞大学医学院的主要单位、位于马萨诸塞州斯普林菲尔德的贝州医疗中心和位于康涅狄格州哈特福德的康涅狄格州儿童医疗中心的临床试验中心组成。自 1990 年以来，联盟研究人员一直共同努力确定 HIV-1 母婴传播 (MTCT) 和儿童 HIV-1 感染的发病机制，并且在设计和实施基于发病机制的临床试验方面拥有丰富的经验。 WNE-MPAACTU 的目标是： 1) 提高我们对 MTCT 和儿童 HIV-1 感染发病机制的了解； 2) 改进儿童和青少年 HIV-1 感染的预防策略，包括开发有效的预防性疫苗； 3) 改进儿童和青少年 HIV-1 感染的治疗策略，包括合并症和 ART 毒性的管理。这些目标与国际孕产妇儿科青少年临床试验 (IMPAACT) 网络的目标最为一致，该网络将开展疫苗、转化研究/药物开发、临床护理优化和 MFCT 研究的预防。根据过去的表现和预计的应计收益，WNE-PACTU 已被选为 IMPAACT“高度首选的核心站点”。 WNE-MPAACTU 研究人员在 IMPAACT 的发展中发挥了领导作用，并将继续通过领导、培训和指导以及方案设计、实施和权责发生制为 IMPAACT 科学议程做出贡献。 行政部分：
