HIV/AIDS Implementation Science Targeting Drug Using Populations: A Collaboration with PEPFAR (R01)

This initiative solicits research to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of various models of program integration to prevent the further spread of HIV among persons who use drugs, including poly-substance users that will result in greater availability, expanded access, lower-threshold regulations facilitating use of services and reducing the burden of disease. It will support regional collaborations, across countries in the same region of the world as well as within countries (e.g., multiple provinces or cities) and among sub-populations within countries. 
This initiative is aimed at developing research and program capability such as initiating and/or scaling up capacity to capture, analyze, and disseminate data. In doing so, applicants are encouraged to leverage existing international resources. Because sustainability and country ownership of programs is a goal of PEPFAR programs, it is essential that applicants provide training to local partners/collaborators to facilitate sustainability and engage where feasible, governmental and civil society sectors.
