Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Funding Opportunity
NIMH and NIAID, along with several other participating NIH institutes, have recently announced a new Notice of Special Interest (NOT-AI-23-070) for applications to advance the goals of EHE. The NOSI solicits research in two priority areas:
- Expanding and/or improving engagement and re-engagement in HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and care services. Studies focused on people experiencing unstable housing or homelessness, including those within communities affected by clusters and outbreaks, are especially encouraged.
- Scale-up of strategies to deliver integrated HIV prevention, treatment, and care services to address co-morbidities and coinfections, health conditions associated with HIV risk, and/or underlying social determinants of health that adversely affect HIV prevention and treatment outcomes.
As discussed during NIAID’s latest AIDS Research Advisory Committee Meeting, this notice represents a change in how the NIH is soliciting research in support of EHE, moving from one-year pilot projects funded through supplements, to larger multi-year studies. Interested applicants can apply to one of several different IC parent announcements for R01, R21, or R34 funding, and applications are not limited to the CFARs or ARCs. Applications must focus on one of the 57 geographic priority areas defined in the EHE Initiative, and the proposed work should support local EHE efforts through meaningful engagement with implementing partners, community members, and people with lived experience. This notice applies to due dates on or after January 7, 2024, and subsequent receipt dates through January 9, 2024.
