Abstract: The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has awarded 23 4-year grant programs to the Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Group, a national network that coordinates research projects. The money will support 21 trials, a data management center, and a new Coordinating and Operating Center. The restructured group's ability to conduct trials that address questions of high public health and scientific priority will be enhanced. As of February 1997, the group has initiated 60 trials, is currently recruiting patients for 27 studies, and has enrolled 10,867 participants.
