The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded Massachusetts General Hospital $855,983 under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) on March 13, 2026, for a project extending through December 31, 2030. The award supports the evaluation and implementation of an Electronic Partner Notification (EPN) platform for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, an Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) priority area. This state-sponsored, statewide intervention enables index patients to anonymously alert sexual partners about STI exposure and connect them to care resources, while simultaneously promoting HIV testing and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake across populations at increased risk. The project, conducted in collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and three high-volume sexual health clinics in Suffolk County, will evaluate the impact of EPN implementation on partner notification and engagement in care for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. The research will identify determinants of EPN implementation for STIs through qualitative interviews and assess how to best design and deploy integrated STI/HIV services in community settings. The deliverables include statewide impact assessments of EPN utilization by field epidemiologists and clinicians, implementation science findings to inform service delivery optimization, and evidence-based recommendations for promoting accessible, low-cost STI and HIV prevention and treatment services among high-risk populations.Federal Grant Award Summary
