Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity "Informed Decision Making in Young Adolescents at Risk for HIV/AIDS (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-NR-10-008) is a discretionary NIH research grant issued through the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR). Its central aim is to support interdisciplinary formative research that digs into how young adolescents make decisions that help them avoid behaviors that increase HIV/AIDS risk, with a specific emphasis on the neurological and neurocognitive underpinnings of that decision making. In plain terms, NINR is looking for projects that can explain what is happening in the developing adolescent brain and cognitive system when youth weigh risks, resist pressure, interpret social cues, and choose safer behaviors, and how those processes can be leveraged to build better HIV prevention approaches for this age group.
A major theme of the announcement is that existing HIV prevention efforts often do not adequately account for the realities of early adolescence, especially the interaction between neurodevelopment and the social environment. NINR highlights the need for prevention interventions that are built within the social and gender constructs that shape adolescent behavior, while also reflecting differences in neurological and cognitive maturity. The FOA signals interest in research that examines neurocognitive variables directly (for example, aspects of executive function, impulse control, reward sensitivity, emotional regulation, and social cognition) and connects those factors to real-world risk avoidance and decision making. The underlying rationale is that prevention strategies that combine social, cultural, and gender context with an accurate understanding of neurological and cognitive development may be more effective for younger adolescents than strategies designed primarily around older teens or adults.
This funding opportunity uses the NIH R01 mechanism, meaning it is intended for full-scale research projects rather than small pilot awards. For fiscal year 2011, NIH committed an estimated total of $2.6 million to this FOA, with an anticipated 4 to 6 awards. The listed award ceiling is $350,000, indicating an upper limit on funding per project as presented in the source information. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes participation more feasible for a wider range of institutions.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations across the public, private, nonprofit, and educational sectors. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments; independent school districts; special district governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those specific nonprofit categories); and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, as well as small businesses. The FOA also explicitly includes a wide set of mission- and community-focused institutions and entities such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, tribal governments and tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. This wide eligibility list fits the topic, since research on adolescent HIV risk and prevention often benefits from partnerships spanning schools, community organizations, healthcare settings, and culturally specific institutions.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on June 17, 2010, with an original (and current) closing date of August 31, 2010, and an archive date of October 1, 2010. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.361 (Nursing Research), reflecting NINR's role and the broader health research frame. The full announcement was made available through the NIH grants guide at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-NR-10-008.html. For access or linking issues, the contact provided is the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV), indicating that technical assistance is available for navigating the online posting rather than scientific/programmatic questions.
Overall, this FOA is essentially a call for research that bridges neuroscience, cognitive development, and the lived social and cultural worlds of early adolescents, with the practical goal of informing HIV prevention interventions that are developmentally realistic and more likely to work for younger teens who are at risk. The emphasis is not only on identifying behavioral risk factors, but on understanding the developing decision-making machinery itself, and translating that knowledge into better-designed prevention strategies.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

In plain terms, what kind of research is NINR looking for?
NINR is looking for projects that explain what is happening in the developing adolescent brain and cognitive system when young people weigh risks, resist pressure, interpret social cues, and choose safer behaviors, and how those insights can be used to improve HIV prevention approaches for this age group.
