About this opportunity

Paragraph 1:

This federal grant opportunity from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks to fund research on the development and testing of two behavioral interventions to enhance HIV and STI prevention implementation among HIV-negative gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) who report substance use. The program will issue one award focused on Black/African American MSM and one award for Hispanic/Latino MSM populations. Eligible applicants include state/local governments, tribal organizations, universities, nonprofits, and for-profit organizations. Applications will be evaluated based on their ability to meet minimum criteria for the CDC Compendium of Best Evidence, including a randomized control trial design with at least 75 participants per study arm and 60% retention at 3-month follow-up. Letters of intent are due January 20, 2025, and full applications are due February 20, 2025.

Paragraph 2:

The federal grant opportunity will provide $475,000 per year for three years (total $2.85 million) for each of the two cooperative agreements. The research sites must be located in priority jurisdictions outlined in the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States (EHE) initiative, in support of broader federal HIV prevention planning efforts. The project period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, and the work will be conducted in academic, public health, and community-based settings relevant to strengthening HIV/STI prevention capacity.

Synopsis

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support pilot research to develop and test behavioral implementation strategies for biomedical interventions (e.g., oral PrEP, condoms) to improve HIV and STI prevention implementation among disproportionately affected populations, especially Black/African American (Black) and Hispanic/Latino (Hispanic) gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) without HIV who report substance use (drug or alcohol). The study design and sample size should meet minimum requirements for consideration of the CDC Compendium of Best Evidence (https://www.cdc.gov/hivpartners/php/compendium/) and thus may have the potential for future CDC HIV prevention funding implementation in jurisdictions around the United States. The applicants should have access to research participants in priority jurisdictions outlined in Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States (EHE), in support of the goals of EHE (Ending the HIV Epidemic in the US (EHE) | EHE Initiative | CDC), the HIV National Strategic Plan for the United States: A Roadmap to End the HIV Epidemic (2021-2025) (https://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/media/pdfs/2024/08/hiv-national-strategic-plan-2021-2025.pdf), and other federal prevention planning efforts.
