Funding Opportunity PAR-18-287 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage innovative exploratory and developmental health services research to improve minority health and/or reduce health disparities at the health care system-level as well as within clinical settings.
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-286 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage innovative health services research that can directly and demonstrably contribute to the improvement of minority health and/or the reduction of health disparities at the health care system-level as well as within clinical settings.
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-263 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to transition the core resources and biomedical research activities of Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) into independence and sustainability.
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-249 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide a mechanism of support to research organizations interested in clinically translating already optimized quantitative imaging software tools capable of measuring or predicting the response of cancer to clinical therapies, or in translating imaging tools for planning and validating radiation therapy treatment strategies in clinical trials. The quantitative tools must have been developed and optimized during a performance period in the Quantitative Imaging Network (QIN) or under other separate funding. The proposed research effort should be an extension of the research that successfully completed the tasks of developing and optimizing the chosen software tools or data collection methods intended to facilitate clinical decision making during clinical trials. This FOA is intended to support the efforts of validating those tools in prospective multisite clinical trials in order to test tool performance and to demonstrate that the tool can be integrated into clinical workflow with a minimum of disruption.
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-248 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages research project applications under the cooperative agreement (UG3/UH3) mechanism to address the development, optimization and validation of quantitative imaging (QI) software tools and methods for prediction and/or measurement of response to cancer therapies or for planning and validating radiation therapy treatment strategies in clinical trials.
Funding Opportunity PA-18-281 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits behavioral, social, and implementation science research designed to (a) identify gaps in the HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) care continuum and associated determinants; (b) develop and test interventions to strengthen PrEP delivery, use, and outcomes; and (c) reduce racial/ethnic and age-related disparities in PrEP uptake and use.
Funding Opportunity PA-18-280 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages implementation research projects designed in partnership with global and domestic service providers, to target the particular needs in the selected community, to achieve the 90/90/90 HIV prevention and treatment targets identified by HIV/AIDS global leadership. The targets for HIV testing are that 90% of all persons living with HIV know their status, for treatment initiation that 90% of those diagnosed receive timely and effective antiretroviral treatment (ART), and for optimal treatment and preventive benefit that 90% of those on treatment achieve sustained viral suppression.

Funding Opportunity PA-18-278 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The health and preventive benefits of treatment for HIV/AIDS, regardless of CD4 count, are now unequivocal. In the United States and globally, ambitious goals have been targeted for HIV testing, adherence, and retention in care, to optimize HIV clinical outcomes and preventive benefit. Additional tools are needed to inform the gaps and strategies that are unique to particular populations, cities, regions, and countries. Applications appropriate for this FOA could include formative basic behavioral and social science to better understand a step in the care continuum and/or multiple steps in the HIV care continuum, initial development and pilot tests of innovative approaches for intervention, and intervention efficacy trials.

Funding Opportunity PA-18-276 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages formative research, intervention development, and pilot-testing of interventions. Primary scientific areas of focus include the feasibility, tolerability, acceptability and safety of novel or adapted interventions that target HIV prevention or treatment. For the purposes of this FOA, intervention is defined to include behavioral, social, or structural approaches, as well as combination biomedical and behavioral, social, or structural approaches that prevent acquisition and transmission of HIV infection, or improve clinical outcomes for persons who are HIV infected, or both.
Notice NOT-AG-17-022 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
Funding Opportunity PAR-18-190 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This FOA encourages exploratory/developmental research applications at the intersection of HIV and aging by addressing two overarching objectives: 1) to improve understanding of biological, clinical, and socio-behavioral aspects of aging through the lens of HIV infection and its treatment; and 2) to improve approaches for testing, prevention, and treatment of HIV infection, and management of HIV-related comorbidities, co-infections, and complications in different populations and cultural settings by applying our current understanding of aging science. Applications appropriate to this FOA should be consistent with the scientific priorities outlined by the NIH Office of AIDS Research (OAR) as described in NOT-OD-15-137.

Funding Opportunity PAR-18-254 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to promote innovative research that addresses one or both of the following objectives: Devise optimal strategies to improve the identification of persons unaware of their HIV-1 infection and successfully link them to HIV testing, treatment, and prevention interventions. Develop and examine the feasibility and acceptability of novel integrated interventions of biomedical and behavioral strategies that substantially reduce the likelihood of onward HIV transmission in these populations.
