Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Functional Wellness in HIV Maximizing the Treatment Cascade (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA 15 133) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant announcement focused on improving how HIV care is delivered across the full continuum of care. The central aim is to stimulate the development and testing of interventions that strengthen the HIV treatment cascade, meaning the linked sequence of steps from diagnosis to consistent care engagement, initiation of antiretroviral therapy, and long-term viral suppression. The emphasis is not simply on creating new clinical treatments, but on designing practical, evidence-based approaches that improve access, continuity, coordination, and quality of healthcare services for people living with HIV, with the larger goal of improving functional wellness and real-world health outcomes.
This opportunity uses the R01 grant mechanism, which generally supports substantial, hypothesis-driven research projects that can generate generalizable knowledge and rigorous evidence. The listed activity categories are education and health, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.361 (Nursing Research), indicating relevance to health services, care delivery, and potentially multidisciplinary interventions that may include nursing and allied health perspectives. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds to receive an award under this announcement.
The FOA was posted and created on March 5, 2015, with an original and final closing date of May 7, 2018, and it was archived on June 7, 2018. While it is no longer open, the summary still matters for organizations looking for similar NIH opportunities or trying to understand the types of HIV care-delivery research NIH has historically prioritized. The announcement points applicants to the official NIH guide page for full details at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-15-133.html
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of institutions and organizations that might reasonably conduct healthcare delivery and intervention research. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities outside of higher education), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and multiple levels of government such as state, county, city or township, special district governments, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The FOA also explicitly includes tribal governments and tribal organizations, including federally recognized tribes and other tribal entities. In the additional eligibility detail, NIH highlights a wide range of mission-driven institutions and community-anchored organizations, including faith-based and community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, and a variety of minority-serving institutions such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). Importantly, the eligibility list also includes non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities and foreign organizations, as well as U.S. territories or possessions and regional organizations, signaling an openness to cross-border or international work where aligned with NIH rules and the goals of the FOA.
From a practical standpoint, the opportunity is aimed at interventions that identify and address gaps where people fall out of HIV care or do not receive optimal services. That can include interventions that improve linkage to care after diagnosis, reduce barriers to attending appointments, strengthen retention in care, support medication adherence, improve coordination among providers and systems, and address social, behavioral, or structural obstacles that interfere with sustained viral suppression. Because the FOA is framed around improving delivery across the continuum of care, it naturally supports implementation-oriented research that tests strategies in clinics, community settings, or hybrid models that bridge both, so long as the work is designed to produce measurable improvements in care processes and outcomes.
For administrative and technical assistance, the announcement provides contacts at the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER). If someone had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, they were directed to contact the NIH OER Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV, and the same contact was listed for problems linking to the funding announcement.
