This RFA calls for collaborative applications between U.S. (or other developed country) institutions and institutions in countries hard hit by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The initiative is designed to enhance capabilities for rigorous behavioral and social science research in relation to HIV/AIDS within these countries. Each of these grants will provide funding to strengthen the research infrastructure of local institutions and will also support a small portfolio [one to three studies] of relevant and innovative research. Research will be conducted with the leadership and involvement of local social and behavioral scientists in partnership with scientists in the U.S. and/or other developed countries. Research topics should address social and behavioral issues in the prevention, care, and/or treatment of HIV/AIDS. It is hoped that the investigators involved in these grants will emerge as recognized leaders in the fields of behavioral and social sciences research related to HIV/AIDS.
Application Deadline: December 14, 2006
Expected number of awards: Awards of up to $350,000 will be granted. The program has an estimated total funding of $4,000,000.
Eligible Applicants: For-profit and not-for-profit, public or private organizations, units of state and local governments, eligible agencies of the Federal Government, domestic or foreign institutions/organizations, faith-based or community-based organizations, and Indian/Native American Tribal Governments are eligible to apply. Eligible principal investigators possess the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research and any proposed infrastructure and capacity building activities. Non-U.S. scientists and researchers in developing countries are strongly encouraged to apply as the Principal Investigators and/or to assume other leadership roles in the proposed studies.
