Opportunity Summary:
The Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for HIV/AIDS Interventions (ATN) U01 funding opportunity (RFA HD 10 015) is a National Institutes of Health cooperative agreement designed to support a coordinated research network focused on HIV prevention and treatment research in young people. It is sponsored by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) in partnership with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). The central goal is to fund investigators and sites that will work with NIH staff under the cooperative agreement model to build and operate a trials network that can plan, launch, and run rigorous studies addressing HIV in pre-adolescents, adolescents, and young adults through age 25, including those living with HIV as well as those at increased risk of acquiring it.
The mission of the ATN described in the announcement is broad and intentionally cross-disciplinary. Awardees are expected to conduct research both within the network and in collaboration with other established research networks and individual investigators. The scope includes developing and implementing multiple types of studies, reflecting the real-world mix of approaches needed to reduce HIV incidence and improve outcomes for youth. Specifically, the network is expected to have the capacity to conduct behavioral interventions, community-based translational research, and clinical trials spanning prophylactic strategies (prevention-focused), therapeutic strategies (treatment-focused), and biomedical prevention technologies such as microbicides and vaccines. In practice, this means the funded program is not limited to one kind of intervention; it is meant to support a pipeline from community and behavioral work through clinical testing, with strong attention to adolescent and young adult populations that have unique developmental, social, and health care needs.
This opportunity uses the NIH Cooperative Research Project Grant (U01) mechanism, which signals that NIH will have substantial scientific and programmatic involvement in the work compared with a standard research project grant. Applicants should interpret this as an expectation of close coordination with the sponsoring Institutes, participation in network governance and common protocols where applicable, and a commitment to harmonized procedures that enable multi-site studies and collaborations. The cooperative agreement structure is commonly used for networks and trials where coordination, shared infrastructure, and consistent implementation across sites are essential.
Funding for this initiative was substantial for the period described. NICHD indicated an intended commitment of approximately a minimum of $22.5 million in total costs (meaning direct costs plus facilities and administrative costs) in FY 2011, with NIDA and NIMH each intending to commit about $1 million in total costs. Collectively, the announcement anticipated supporting approximately 17 to 19 awards, including new and/or competing continuation grants. The announcement also makes clear that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can make participation more feasible for a wider range of applicants and community partners.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that can credibly support clinical and community-based HIV research in youth. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled universities, nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and various governmental entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and special district governments. The eligibility section explicitly notes additional eligible applicants such as faith-based and community-based organizations, Hispanic-serving institutions, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), reflecting an interest in engaging organizations that are often deeply connected to communities most affected by HIV and that can strengthen recruitment, retention, and the cultural relevance of interventions.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted January 20, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 14, 2010, and an archive date of May 15, 2010. It falls under discretionary funding and is categorized across education, health, and social services-related activity categories, with CFDA listings tied to child health and human development research, drug abuse and addiction research programs, and mental health research grants. The full announcement was hosted on the NIH grants site, and the contact information provided directs technical access and linking problems to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster.
