--- ## Description The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is forecasting support for research projects focused on implementation science to end the HIV epidemic. This initiative seeks to leverage collaborations between researchers and communities to bring evidence-based advances in HIV prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and outbreak response to populations most affected by HIV. Projects should aim to: - Develop strategies that integrate innovations from epidemiology, data science, public health, medicine, social services, implementation science, and community engagement. - Deploy, test, and evaluate new or existing strategies in various geographic locations or settings, in partnership with local, state, and federal public health entities. - Generate generalized knowledge to inform larger-scale efforts to end HIV, even as interventions are implemented at the local level. --- ## Due Dates - Estimated Application Due Date: April 17, 2026 *All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates.* --- ## Funding Amount - Estimated total program funding: $7,000,000 - Expected number of awards: 10 - Award size and duration details have not been specified; consult the full announcement when released. --- ## Eligibility Eligible applicants include: - State, county, city, or township governments - Special district governments - Independent school districts - Public and private institutions of higher education - Federally recognized and other Native American tribal governments/organizations - Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities - Nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status) - For-profit organizations (including small businesses) - U.S. territories or possessions - Faith-based or community-based organizations - Regional organizations - Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign institutions) - Eligible federal agencies There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. --- ## Application Process - This is a forecasted opportunity; the official Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will provide detailed application instructions when released. - Applications will be submitted via [Grants.gov](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/360873). - Prepare to address the aims of implementation science, community engagement, and multi-sectoral collaboration in your proposal. --- ## Additional Information - Projects are expected to foster partnerships with public health entities at multiple levels. - The initiative encourages innovative approaches that can be generalized to broader efforts to end HIV. - Refer to the official [Grants.gov listing](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/360873) for future updates and full details upon release. --- ## External Links - [NIH Funder Page](https://www.nih.gov/) - [Grants.gov Opportunity Listing](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/360873) --- ## Contact Information | Name | Email | Phone | |---------------------|----------------------------------|--------------| | Rebecca Mandt, Ph.D.| [rebecca.mandt@nih.gov](mailto:rebecca.mandt@nih.gov) | 301-435-7695 |
