Funding Opportunity: Advancing HIV Prevention through Transformative Behavioral and Social Science Research (R01)


The NIH has issued this funding opportunity announcement (FOA). It appears to be quite broadly based in the social and behavioral sciences, as suggested in its FOA description:

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications that will advance generalizable knowledge about HIV prevention through transformative behavioral and social science research. An underlying assumption for this funding opportunity is that methods of and findings from social and behavioral studies can make essential contributions to research that utilizes biomedical modalities. In addition, biomedical perspectives are essential for the advancement of social and behavioral HIV research on HIV prevention. Therefore, this FOA invites studies that are comprehensive in the sense that the reciprocal influences of relevant variables, whether social, behavioral, or biomedical are included in study design and interpretation. This FOA is intended to address the goals of the National HIV AIDS Strategy, and therefore studies should address issues that are highly relevant to the domestic (i.e., United States) HIV problem.
