The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) awarded a $786,979 Project Grant (CFDA 93.279 - Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to implement a two-prong hybrid trial focused on improving identification and treatment of substance use disorder (SUD) among sexual and gender minorities of color (SGMC) in Chicago.

The first prong involves implementing routine screening for SUD using the NIDA Quick Screen. The second prong is a social network intervention to identify individuals who are viremic, have SUD, or both, and link them to harm reduction and HIV continuum of care services. The project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach, develop an implementation strategy to support adoption and sustainment, and assess the potential population-level impact on new HIV infections, individuals out-of-care, and viral unsuppression over 10 years if implemented across Chicago. The award period is from August 1, 2025 to April 30, 2030.
