This federal Project Grant award of $1,251,196 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) aims to scale up an evidence-based Adolescent Transition Package (ATP) to support transitional care among youth living with HIV (YLH) in Kenya.

The award will test two implementation strategies for scaling up the ATP intervention - the standard Kenya Ministry of Health implementation approach and an enhanced youth-led, data-driven implementation strategy. The project will assess the reach, adoption, and effectiveness of the two approaches in improving outcomes like successful transfer to adult care, post-transition retention, viral suppression, and transition readiness among YLH. It will also evaluate the cost-effectiveness and budget impact of the enhanced youth-led implementation strategy. The University of Washington is the prime grantee, and they have a sub-award with Kenyatta National Hospital in Kenya to collaborate on the research.
