The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) awarded a $1,260,020 Project Grant under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) to the San Diego State University Research Foundation. The 3-year grant will fund a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of integrating an evidence-based mental health intervention, Skills Training in Affect and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR), into an existing HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) implementation project targeting transgender and gender-diverse individuals in Los Angeles County. The study aims to address mental health barriers and increase PrEP uptake and persistence among this high-risk population disproportionately affected by HIV. The grant will allow the community-academic research team to scale up comprehensive, gender-affirming PrEP services at a transgender community center while simultaneously evaluating the implementation process and impact of the integrated mental health intervention.
