Opportunity Summary:

The Integrating Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment within HIV/AIDS Service Delivery Settings (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-DA-14-011) is a National Institutes of Health discretionary grant program designed to strengthen research at the point where HIV/AIDS service delivery and substance use prevention and treatment meet. The central idea is that HIV outcomes and drug and alcohol use outcomes are deeply connected in real-world care settings, yet many populations and service environments remain understudied. This FOA was positioned as part of a broader 2014 research expansion intended to generate practical, evidence-based approaches that can be implemented in settings already serving people affected by HIV/AIDS, particularly where substance use contributes to HIV risk, delays entry into care, disrupts treatment adherence, or worsens health outcomes.

The FOA emphasizes building better scientific understanding of the intersection of HIV/AIDS and drug abuse by supporting research that integrates substance use prevention and treatment activities into HIV/AIDS service delivery settings. In practice, this points to studies that examine how HIV programs can more effectively identify substance use problems, deliver or link patients to evidence-based substance use interventions, and evaluate how integration changes key outcomes such as engagement in HIV care, viral suppression, medication adherence, risk behaviors, and retention in treatment. Because it highlights understudied populations and understudied settings that show promise for prevention and treatment development, the announcement is oriented toward filling gaps where standard research pipelines have not produced enough actionable guidance for service providers.

This specific opportunity is one piece of a multipronged set of related NIH research initiatives released in the same expansion. The companion efforts referenced include initiatives focused on HIV/AIDS and substance use among people who are homeless or unstably housed (RFA-DA-14-009), research addressing substance use and HIV in Black/African American women and young men who have sex with men (MSM) (RFA-DA-14-010), exploratory work on comorbid HIV, chronic pain, and substance use among older adults (RFA-DA-14-012), and a Seek, Test, Treat, and Retain Data Harmonization Coordinating Center (RFA-DA-14-007). Taken together, these FOAs signal a coordinated push to improve prevention and treatment science in high-need groups and delivery contexts where HIV and substance use overlap and where care improvements could have outsized public health impact.

From an administrative standpoint, this is an NIH research project grant using the R01 activity mechanism. The program falls under the CFDA number 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs). It was posted on June 10, 2013, with an original and final application due date of November 15, 2013, and it was later archived on December 16, 2013. The estimated total funding amount listed is $3,000,000, and the award ceiling is $500,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not expected to contribute a required percentage of project costs as a condition of the award.

Eligibility is broad across public, private, nonprofit, and governmental entities within the United States and its territories, reflecting NIH’s typical openness to a wide range of research-capable organizations. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; small businesses; for-profit organizations other than small businesses; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The eligibility listing also explicitly includes a range of mission-focused institutions and community-based 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, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), as well as faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. Federally recognized tribal governments and certain other tribal organizations are included as eligible applicants. At the same time, the FOA makes clear that non-U.S. (foreign) institutions are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components as defined by NIH policy are not allowed.

Operationally, the announcement directs interested parties to the full solicitation on the NIH grants website (the Additional Information link provided in the source). For access or technical issues, the contact point is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster, with emails provided for help accessing the announcement and for troubleshooting linking problems. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted R01 funding call aimed at generating rigorous, implementable research evidence on how HIV/AIDS service settings can incorporate substance use prevention and treatment in ways that measurably improve health outcomes and service engagement for populations where the HIV-substance use overlap is a major driver of risk and care challenges.

FAQs: Integrating Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment within HIV/AIDS Service Delivery Settings (R01) (RFA-DA-14-011)

What is this funding opportunity?

This is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary research grant opportunity titled "Integrating Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment within HIV/AIDS Service Delivery Settings (R01)." The Funding Opportunity Number (FON) is RFA-DA-14-011, and it uses the NIH R01 research project grant mechanism.

What is the main purpose of RFA-DA-14-011?

The purpose is to strengthen research at the intersection of HIV/AIDS service delivery and substance use prevention and treatment. The focus is on generating practical, evidence-based approaches that can be implemented in real-world settings already serving people affected by HIV/AIDS, especially where drug or alcohol use drives HIV risk and worsens care outcomes.

Why does this FOA focus on integrating substance use services into HIV settings?

The FOA is based on the premise that HIV outcomes and drug/alcohol use outcomes are tightly linked in real-world care settings. Substance use can increase HIV risk, delay entry into care, disrupt treatment adherence, reduce retention, and worsen health outcomes, so integration is positioned as a way to improve results on both fronts.

What kinds of research does the FOA emphasize?

The FOA emphasizes research that integrates substance use prevention and treatment activities into HIV/AIDS service delivery settings. This includes studies on how HIV programs can identify substance use problems, deliver evidence-based interventions, link patients to substance use services, and evaluate whether integration improves HIV care and substance use outcomes.

Which outcomes are highlighted as important to measure?

The FOA highlights outcomes such as engagement in HIV care, viral suppression, medication adherence, risk behaviors, and retention in treatment. It also underscores understanding changes in drug and alcohol use outcomes when integration is implemented.

Does the FOA prioritize any particular populations or service environments?

Yes. The FOA explicitly points to "understudied populations" and "understudied settings" that show promise for prevention and treatment development. The intent is to fill gaps where standard research pipelines have not produced enough actionable guidance for service providers.
