Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "HIV infected Adolescents Transitioning from Pediatric to the Adult Care Settings (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HD-16-033), was issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a discretionary research grant mechanism using the R01 funding instrument. The central aim of the announcement is to fund research focused on how adolescents and youth living with HIV move, or "transition," from pediatric or adolescent-focused healthcare services into adult HIV care settings. The larger public health purpose is to build a stronger evidence base that can directly support the creation or refinement of transition guidelines that are practical and relevant across different resource environments, explicitly including low-, middle-, and high-income countries. In other words, the FOA is not only interested in describing transition challenges, but in generating research findings that can help shape real-world, implementable standards of care for keeping young people engaged in treatment as they age into adult systems.
From an administrative and timing standpoint, the opportunity was posted on July 7, 2015, with an original (and final) application due date of January 14, 2016. The opportunity was later archived on February 14, 2016. The announcement listed an estimated total funding amount of $1,500,000, with an award ceiling of $225,000. It also specified that cost sharing or matching was not required, which typically means applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award (though projects may still leverage other resources where appropriate).
Eligibility for applicants was broad and included many types of U.S.-based and non-U.S.-based institutions and organizations. Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and a range of government entities such as state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts. The FOA also allowed applications from tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and other entities as clarified in the full announcement. Importantly, the eligibility section explicitly included non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations) and regional organizations, reinforcing the FOA's stated interest in producing evidence that can inform guidance across countries at different income levels. It also highlighted eligibility for institutions serving specific populations, including 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 and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based and community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies.
In terms of program area framing, the FOA was categorized under "Health, Income Security and Social Services" and associated with CFDA number 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), which aligns with NIH interests in adolescent health and development. The scientific theme is centered on a well-known point of vulnerability in the HIV care continuum: the period when adolescents must shift from pediatric models of care (often more family-centered, developmentally tailored, and supported) to adult models (often more independent, less resourced for adolescent developmental needs, and structured differently). Research supported by this FOA would be expected to address how to make that shift safer and more effective, with outcomes that matter for HIV control and patient well-being, such as sustained engagement in care, adherence to antiretroviral therapy, and continuity of viral suppression during and after transition.
The FOA provided an official NIH webpage as the additional information link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HD-16-033.html). For access issues, it directed applicants to contact the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster via the listed email addresses, indicating standard NIH support channels for technical problems related to viewing or linking to the announcement.
