This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), aims to develop and pilot-test an intervention integrating peer navigation and family engagement to improve antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence and opioid substitution therapy (OST) continuation among people who inject drugs in South Africa. The $873,784 award, with a project period from September 30, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will...
This Project Grant award of $234,000.00 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) will fund research to understand the impact of opioids on HIV transcription and latency. The research will utilize a novel dual fluorescent and bioluminescent HIV virus to visualize and measure the effects of opioids like fentanyl, morphine, and methadone on HIV proviral transcription in microglia and astrocytes. The goal is to identify key...
This federal Project Grant award of $1,932,699.00, awarded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), supports research to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of a peer-delivered behavioral activation and problem-solving intervention called "Peer Activate-LAI" for improving adherence to long-acting injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and antiretroviral therapy (ART) among a predominantly Black,...
This Project Grant award in the amount of $983,672.00 was issued by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The award will fund research to characterize the in-situ spatial interactions between HIV-infected cells and immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS) of people living with HIV, with a focus on understanding the impact of methamphetamine use on neuroinflammation. The research will leverage a unique cohort of brain...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under CFDA 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs is for a 2-year study titled "SILOS: Structural Inequities Across Layers of Social-Context as Drivers of HIV and Substance Use."

This federal Project Grant award for $263,119 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) is focused on developing NLRP3 inhibitors to address HIV-associated neuroinflammation in cocaine use. The key objectives are to computationally design, synthesize, and screen novel analogues of a lead compound, AMS-17, to improve its biological activity and maintain low toxicity. The project involves in vitro and in vivo screening of...

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) awarded a $672,206 Project Grant under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) to develop an enhanced model of sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) services that integrates HIV prevention and substance use treatment for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) who have experienced sexual violence.

The key goals of the three-year project are to: 1) tailor existing SANE services to include same-day HIV prophylaxis and substance use prevention using co-design with AYA survivors and stakeholders; 2) optimize study procedures and outcome measures; and 3) conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the enhanced SANE services compared to usual care. This exploratory research project aims to increase access to critical HIV and substance use prevention and treatment services for AYA sexual violence survivors, a population at high risk for long-term health consequences.
