Description

Purpose. This FOA issued by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), encourages Research Project Grant (R01) applications to examine the drug abuse aspects of HIV/AIDS, including research on drug-related risk behaviors, addiction and HIV disease, and drug use/HIV-related comorbidities and consequences. Proposals are needed to identify and predict changes in the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS among injection and non-injection drug users and among their sexual partners, to develop and test primary and secondary drug abuse and HIV prevention and treatment interventions, to improve HIV testing, counseling, and treatment services for those living with HIV/AIDS, and to address basic mechanisms involved in HIV infection and AIDS pathogenesis in the context of drug abuse and addiction. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R01 grant mechanism, and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-10-130, that encourages applications under the R21 and PA-10-131 that encourages applications under the R03 mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
