- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $787,498 under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) on July 1, 2026, to characterize HIV persistence and neuroinflammation in central nervous system (CNS) reservoirs in vivo using barcoded HIV tracking, spatial transcriptomics, single-cell RNA sequencing, and integration site analysis. The research investigates the contributions of T cell populations in HIV persistence and inflammation...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Rand Corporation $676,820 on September 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to evaluate the decentralization and scale-up of integrated chronic care clinics in Malawi. The award funds a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial that would permanently transition Malawi's HIV delivery platform—a network of 700 clinics serving over 900,000 clients—into full-time integrated chronic care facilities providing daily...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of California, San Diego $441,215 on July 15, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to explore barriers and facilitators of HIV care and prevention service engagement among 18–45-year-old Black and Latinx sexual minority men in San Diego, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties, California. The project investigates new intervention approaches to increase uptake and persistence of long-acting injectable...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of Washington $699,750 on May 7, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to adapt and evaluate the "Do More, Feel Better" behavioral activation intervention for older people living with HIV who experience depression and have limited access to professional mental health care.

The project will develop tailored, evidence-based service delivery strategies to improve uptake and adherence to biomedical HIV prevention among fishermen, a key...
- The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of California, San Diego $399,950 under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) on August 1, 2026, to investigate reactive oxygen species–mitochondrial–calcium axes in neuronal function. The award funds basic research into the molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal physiology, with potential implications for understanding mental health disorders. The project extends through April 30, 2031, and is performed in La...
The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco $1,111,169 on August 5, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to conduct a longitudinal convergent mixed-methods study quantifying the impact of water insecurity on HIV treatment outcomes in Ghana, with particular attention to climate-related drivers, infrastructure challenges, and interconnections with food insecurity and mental health among people living with HIV. The research will elucidate mechanisms through which water insecurity affects antiretroviral therapy adherence, management of treatment side effects, and broader health and care engagement outcomes in one of sub-Saharan Africa's most climate-vulnerable countries. Performance occurs in San Francisco, California, with a period of performance through July 31, 2030.
