Performance occurs in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with a period of performance from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2028. As a Project Grant (an assistance type for specified project periods), this award funds Habitaware's development and initial testing of the digital self-help intervention designed with and for the target population to improve accessibility and engagement compared to traditional HRT delivery.
