RFA-DA-26-004-Full-Announcement.html

This is a Request for Applications (RFA) from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health for research addressing systemic barriers to HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) care among substance users. The funding opportunity (RFA-DA-26-004) supports R34 clinical trials to develop and evaluate strategies improving PrEP awareness, uptake, and adherence in populations who use substances, where current adoption remains suboptimal despite PrEP's proven effectiveness.

The opportunity is open to a wide range of applicants including higher education institutions, government entities, tribal organizations, nonprofits, and small businesses. It falls under three NIH grant programs: Drug Use and Addiction Research (93.279), Trans-NIH Research Support (93.310), and NIH Office of Research on Women's Health (93.313). The funded research will specifically examine structural factors affecting the PrEP care continuum and implement interventions tailored to substance users' needs. Award amounts and key dates are not specified in this excerpt of the announcement.
