The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency — making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.
The grant program aims to fund high-priority research at the confluence of HIV and substance use. It seeks to invite innovative research projects that could pioneer new domains in HIV/AIDS research or lead to new methods for prevention, treatment, and cure of HIV among people who use drugs (PWUD). The initiative encourages applications that come with a comprehensive research plan, preliminary data, and articulate the connection with substance use. Open to both individual researchers and teams, the grant encompasses all areas of research from basic science through to clinical and implementation research.
