About this opportunity
This cooperative agreement seeks applications from county governments, higher education institutions, tribal governments, public housing authorities, nonprofits, and state governments to implement long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy programs for individuals with HIV released from state prisons. Up to $3 million in total funding over four years will be awarded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to support developing and operating LAI-ART programs in two state correctional systems. Applicants must collaborate with relevant state agencies to identify eligible individuals, design an implementation model, and analyze 12 months of post-release clinical outcomes. Applications will be evaluated based on the criteria in the notice of funding opportunity. The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2024.
Each recipient can expect to receive up to $1.5 million in total costs over the four-year project period beginning September 1, 2024. Successful applicants must perform work in collaboration with the identified state prisons and community organizations serving the post-release population in order to develop, launch, and study the impact of LAI-ART programs for people with HIV transitioning from incarceration back into the community.
Synopsis
Each year, approximately 6,500 persons with HIV living in prison facilities are released to the community, often lacking support for ongoing HIV care. There is a paucity of programming for this population that demonstrates effective retention in HIV care and sustained HIV viral suppression after release. The use of long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI-ART) prior to and at the time of release from prison may improve adherence to HIV treatment, retention in care, and maintenance of viral load suppression among persons reentering the community. The primary purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support the development and implementation of effective, sustainable, replicable LAI-ART programs for prison facilities and to understand the feasibility and acceptability of providing LAI-ART to persons with HIV living in prisons who are to be released to the community. Applied qualitative and quantitative research resulting from this funding is expected to strengthen adherence to ART.
