Project Summary Due to the success of antiretroviral therapy (ART), people living with HIV (PLWH) are now experiencing life expectancies similar to those of people without HIV (PwoH), and accordingly living into older ages. Numerous aging-related diseases are now occurring in PLWH and there is abundant evidence that these occur at earlier ages (chronologically) than in the general population or in demographically similar PwoH. This earlier occurrence has posed a major problem in the clinical care of PLWH- both in understanding what the optimal care is, and in providing clinical settings in which it can be delivered. These are major problems worldwide, but especially in resource-limited settings. While large meetings are important venues for scientific exchange regarding the latest knowledge concerning the care of PLWH as they age, there is a compelling need for smaller meetings that facilitate the personal discussions and networking that are critical to effective dissemination of advances and to the career development of early-stage investigators in the field of HIV and aging. The International Workshop on HIV & Aging has addressed this important need annually since 2010, bringing together 150-200 international delegates to discuss the latest findings and controversies in the biology of aging as it is affected by HIV and in methods for incorporating these into the delivery of clinical care to often challenging populations. The Workshop has traditionally been held in one site over two days (although this went to a 3-day virtual format because of the COVID-19 pandemic), with expert plenary speakers either from pertinent areas outside of HIV research or performing research or care on PLWH, and oral and poster presentations based on submitted abstracts. Also included are interactive panel discussions with audience involvement; short talks dealing with topical issues in these areas, and guided tours of related posters. Researchers receive ample feedback and evaluation on their work. This R13 application proposes the following aims to enhance the 14th International Workshop on HIV & Aging, which will be held on Oct. 26-27, 2023 in Washington, DC, USA: 1) To provide scholarships to trainees and investigators who need financial support in order to attend the Workshop, especially those from resource-limited settings; and 2) To provide support for experts from resource-limited settings to give plenary lectures at the Workshop. Funding of this application will greatly enhance the diversity and geographic reach of the attendance at the Workshop, which in turn will facilitate dissemination of expertise and experience globally and translation of research findings into clinical strategies that can improve the lifespan and healthspan of PLWH now and for years to come.
