The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco $186,970 on August 12, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to support research on HIV prevention strategies for adolescent girls and young women in Africa. The research quantifies unmet need for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) using demographic and health survey data from 21 countries, projects the impact of newer biomedical HIV prevention products including long-acting injectables on addressing that need, and develops targeted interventions to bridge evidence-to-action gaps. The project integrates a structured training plan covering sampling methods for hard-to-reach populations, infectious disease modeling, implementation science, and biomedical HIV prevention products, supported by a mentorship team of subject matter experts. This is a K01 award, a career development grant supporting early-stage independent researchers with a five-year, non-renewable performance period. Work is performed in San Francisco, California, with a completion date of July 31, 2031.
