About this opportunity

This notice of funding opportunity from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention seeks applications for epidemiologic, behavioral, and implementation science research projects addressing health inequities faced by racial and ethnic minority communities disproportionately affected by HIV. Up to five awards of up to $350,000 per year for four years will be provided to build research capacity among underrepresented investigators from communities heavily impacted by HIV. Applicants must propose research aligned with strategies to end the HIV epidemic outlined in the federal initiative and investigate social determinants influencing HIV outcomes. Funded projects will be evaluated based on community engagement, collaboration with local health departments, and potential to advance understanding of and solutions to inequities. Applications are due January 16, 2024.

A total of $7,000,000 is available for the four-year project period, with $1,750,000 expected for the first year divided into five awards of $350,000 each. Research will be conducted within racial and ethnic minority communities disproportionately affected by HIV as identified in applicants' proposals. The anticipated project period is from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2028.

Synopsis

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support promising epidemiologic, behavioral, and implementation science research addressing the drivers of health inequities in racial and ethnic minority communities disproportionately affected by HIV while strengthening the capacity for conducting such research among underrepresented investigators working in these communities. The NOFO supports CDC's goals to promote health and reduce disease and disability by funding research that has the potential to result in high public health impact.The NOFO is aligned with the federal initiative for Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States (EHE) by 2030. The EHE plan encompasses the following four key strategies: (i) diagnose all individuals with HIV as early as possible; (ii) treat people with HIV rapidly and effectively to reach sustained viral suppression; (iii) prevent new HIV transmissions by using proven interventions, including PrEP and syringe services programs (SSPs); (iv) respond quickly to potential HIV outbreaks to get needed prevention and treatment services to people who need them.
