Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) awarded the University of Pennsylvania a $885,939 Project Grant (CFDA 93.279: Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs) effective July 1, 2026, through May 31, 2031, to test the effectiveness of a remote intervention designed to reduce HIV and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection risk in rural areas of the United States. The intervention delivers a virtual social platform via Zoom that convenes individuals with recent substance use and community members to increase social integration, decrease stigmatizing beliefs about substance use disorder, and promote pro-health norms. The program provides remote access to HIV/HCV testing and naloxone (Narcan), adapts to participant needs through individualized goal achievement within group formats, and leverages an artificial intelligence co-pilot to facilitate scalability by training and assisting community facilitators at reduced cost. The research plan is supported by preliminary data demonstrating significant effects on HIV testing, HCV testing, HIV prevention, and social integration outcomes. Over the five-year project period, the University of Pennsylvania will conduct a cluster-randomized controlled trial (C-RCT) enrolling 700 participants from high-risk rural counties. Initial work will establish infrastructure by convening a Community Advisory Board to identify at-risk counties and refine the AI co-pilot technology. This implementation research directly addresses NIDA's priorities in substance use prevention and HIV/AIDS-related health outcomes, contributing evidence for scalable, evidence-based interventions targeting vulnerable rural populations affected by the concurrent substance use and infectious disease epidemics.
