This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to adapt and evaluate the effectiveness of the Comprehensive Adherence Resource and Empowerment Support (CARES) intervention to increase pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) continuation and adherence among adolescent girls and young women in South Africa and Zimbabwe. The total funding amount is $710,187, with an award date of September 11, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2029. The award is led by multiple principal investigators from RTI International, Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation, and Pangaea Zimbabwe AIDS Trust.

The overarching goals are to adapt the CARES intervention to be implementable in real-world settings, incorporate injectable PrEP, and evaluate the effectiveness, feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity of the adapted intervention.
