Albert Einstein College of Medicine received a $756,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) effective March 15, 2026, with completion targeted for February 28, 2029. The award supports formative research and pilot testing of implementation strategies designed to improve Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) engagement among hospitalized people who use substances (PWUS). The research employs a three-aim approach: first, conducting semi-structured interviews with hospitalized PWUS and clinical implementers to identify barriers and facilitators to Addiction Consult Services (ACS)-driven PrEP; second, convening a taskforce to develop a bundle of implementation strategies; and third, pilot testing the strategy bundle over twelve months to evaluate feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, adoption, fidelity, and preliminary effectiveness. The study addresses a critical gap in HIV prevention among PWUS, who experience significant barriers to PrEP uptake despite elevated transmission risk. By leveraging ACS—multidisciplinary clinical teams specializing in addiction treatment—the research seeks to capitalize on hospital encounters as intervention touchpoints for individuals with limited regular care access. Findings will inform design of a subsequent full-scale research project to validate the implementation strategy bundle and establish evidence-based protocols for expanding PrEP access within substance use treatment settings.Federal Grant Award Summary
