About this opportunity

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is seeking applicants to design and conduct mixed methods research to understand infant feeding preferences, practices, and outcomes for people with HIV in the United States. Eligible applicants include universities, nonprofits, local and state governments. The study will describe characteristics of people with HIV who are pregnant or postpartum and their infants, as well as factors influencing infant feeding decisions and potential risks of HIV transmission through breastfeeding. The agency will evaluate applicants based on their experience conducting similar research, collaborating with clinical sites, and establishing observational registries. Applications are due February 8, 2024.

Up to $5 million is available over a five-year period, with an estimated $1 million provided annually. The recipient will perform the work in collaboration with clinical sites serving the target population of people with HIV who are pregnant or postpartum and their infants.

Synopsis

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support a study to understand the infant feeding preferences, practices, and outcomes for people with HIV (PWH) in the United States. Improvements in HIV antiretroviral therapy have led to reductions in perinatal HIV transmission, opening the door to shared decision making by pregnant people with HIV and their medical providers regarding breastfeeding of infants; however clinical, behavioral, and social factors associated with infant feeding practices in this population remain poorly understood and require further elucidation. There is also an interest in understanding health outcomes of infants breastfed by persons with HIV, and in interventions both to support postpartum PWH to optimize their health and to optimize care for breastfed infants.
