Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. (doing business as Heluna Health) received a $659,242 Project Grant award dated March 5, 2026, from the National Institute of Mental Health under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The project, titled "PREP Blueprint: Evaluating Implementation of a PrEP Choice Blueprint on PrEP Uptake and Persistence," extends through November 30, 2030, and is designed to create an implementation blueprint to assist clinics in scaling pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) efforts and offering multiple PrEP options to eligible individuals. The primary deliverables include the development of client-centered and clinic-facing implementation resources through human-centered design (HCD) workshops conducted at two clinical sites—a community sexual health clinic in San Francisco, California and a university infectious disease clinic in Birmingham, Alabama. Specific products to be delivered encompass a PrEP decision support tool to facilitate patient selection of appropriate PrEP modalities, workflow templates, provider educational materials, insurance flowsheets, and visit-type protocols. The project will engage 10 clients and 20 staff members at each clinic site across three half-day HCD workshops (ideation, prototyping, and testing phases) to identify implementation barriers and develop feasible, client-centered strategies for scaling PrEP services. Additionally, the award supports establishment of a stakeholder advisory board to inform strategy development and outreach to priority populations.Federal Grant Award Summary: PREP Blueprint Project
