RTI International (Research Triangle Institute) received a $776,566 Project Grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), awarded on May 6, 2026, with a completion date of February 28, 2031. The grant supports a multi-level intervention research study designed to address HIV-related stigma among women living with HIV (WLWH) in Tanzania. The primary objective is to develop, implement, and rigorously evaluate evidence-based stigma reduction strategies at both the healthcare facility and individual patient levels to improve antiretroviral therapy adherence, viral load suppression, and sustained engagement in HIV care services. The research deliverables will include an innovative, multilevel stigma reduction intervention framework tailored to the Tanzanian context, alongside comprehensive evaluation data demonstrating the intervention's impact on HIV treatment outcomes. The study will leverage Tanzania's high geographical concentration of WLWH and multiple HIV clinic facilities to conduct a rigorous health facility-level randomization design. Products will encompass peer-reviewed publications, implementation guidance for scaling stigma reduction strategies, and evidence-based recommendations to inform HIV service delivery improvements both within Tanzania and globally. This research addresses a critical gap in translating existing knowledge about stigma's negative impact on HIV outcomes into actionable, scalable interventions.Federal Grant Award Summary
