Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Ethical Issues in Research on HIV/AIDS and its Co Morbidities (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-15-274) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program that supported research projects focused on the ethical challenges that arise in HIV-related research, especially when HIV intersects with other health conditions (co-morbidities). The core purpose of the announcement was to encourage investigators to study, clarify, and propose solutions to ethical questions that come up when conducting research with people living with HIV, as well as people who are at high risk of acquiring HIV. In practical terms, the FOA sought work that could improve the ethical design and conduct of HIV research, strengthen protections for participants, and help research teams and institutions navigate difficult real-world issues such as consent, confidentiality, stigma, equitable participant selection, and other participant-centered concerns that often become more complex when co-occurring illnesses or social vulnerabilities are involved.
This opportunity used the R01 grant mechanism, which generally supports substantial, investigator-initiated research projects. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity areas spanned education and health. The FOA was connected to multiple CFDA program areas, reflecting how ethics in HIV research touches many NIH missions, including mental health research (93.242), a wide range of cancer research areas (93.393 through 93.399), and infectious disease and microbiology research (93.855 and 93.856). The wide spread of CFDA numbers signals that NIH viewed ethical issues in HIV and co-morbidities as cross-cutting, relevant not only to HIV-focused studies but also to cancer, mental health, and infectious disease research contexts where HIV may affect risk profiles, clinical outcomes, treatment complexity, and participant vulnerability.
The announcement did not require cost sharing or matching, which meant applicants were not required to commit non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The FOA was first posted on June 9, 2015, with the same date listed as the creation date. The original closing date and the final closing date were January 8, 2018, and the opportunity was archived on February 8, 2018. Because it is archived, it is no longer open for new applications, but it remains a useful reference for the types of ethical research questions NIH has prioritized in the HIV space.
Eligibility for this FOA was broad and intentionally inclusive, allowing applications from many kinds of organizations that conduct research or have strong partnerships with affected communities. Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and various levels of government such as city or township governments, county governments, state governments, special district governments, independent school districts, and public housing authorities or Indian housing authorities. The eligibility language also explicitly included Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), highlighting NIH interest in ensuring that tribal communities and institutions could lead or participate in ethics-focused HIV research.
In addition, the FOA specified other eligible applicants, expanding the pool to include Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, eligible federal government agencies, and non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations). This reflects a recognition that HIV research often requires strong community engagement and that ethically complex issues frequently arise in settings where social stigma, healthcare access gaps, cultural context, or legal and policy environments can differ widely. Allowing foreign organizations also aligns with the global nature of HIV and the fact that many ethically salient HIV studies occur in international contexts.
The administering agency was the National Institutes of Health. The NIH included basic support contact information through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster, with guidance for applicants who had trouble accessing or linking to the full announcement. The full FOA was made available through the NIH grants policy and guide page at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-15-274.html.
