Description

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit applications from investigators to enroll large, digitally-maintained cohorts of people with HIV-1 (PWH) in the United States which employ sampling strategies that ensure meaningful enrollment of participants who report prior gaps in HIV care engagement and/or lack of sustained viral suppression (VS). The goal is to follow the research cohort over time to prospectively investigate trajectories of HIV care engagement and viral suppression, as well as the temporal antecedents and multilevel factors that drive changes in care engagement, antiretroviral adherence, and viral suppression. Researchers may test strategies for improved methods of screening, enrollment, and retention of cohort participants. Projects should seek to inform future interventions to promote sustained engagement in HIV care and sustained HIV viral suppression, and additionally have the option of testing digitally-delivered interventions toward that end.
