Opportunity Summary:
The Perinatally HIV Infected Youth In Africa and Asia (R01) funding opportunity (RFA-HD-12-207) is a discretionary NIH research grant program issued by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). Its central purpose is to support research that examines what happens to children who acquired HIV at birth (perinatal infection) as they increasingly survive into adolescence and young adulthood, particularly in Africa and Asia where the burden of pediatric HIV has been high and where long-term outcomes are still not as well characterized. The emphasis is on understanding the impact of HIV infection itself and the effects of HIV treatment over time in these young people, including the consequences of long-term antiretroviral therapy exposure that begins in infancy or childhood and continues through critical developmental stages.
This opportunity uses the R01 mechanism, meaning it is intended for well-developed, hypothesis-driven research projects with clear aims, rigorous methods, and the ability to generate strong, generalizable evidence. The overall focus is evaluative: applicants are expected to design studies that measure and analyze outcomes associated with perinatal HIV and its treatment as youth age, rather than only describing prevalence. In practical terms, this can include clinical outcomes, developmental and reproductive health issues, treatment response and complications, psychosocial and behavioral outcomes, and other adolescent-to-young-adult transition issues that are uniquely shaped by lifelong HIV infection and chronic medication exposure. The geographic scope is explicitly centered on Africa and Asia, reflecting both need and the scientific importance of studying youth in settings where health systems, co-infections, nutrition, stigma, and treatment access patterns may differ from high-income countries.
Financially, NIH estimated a total of about $4,000,000 in available funding under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $600,000. The announcement specifies that cost sharing or matching is not required, which is typical for many NIH research grants and lowers barriers for applicants who might not have access to non-federal co-funding. The funding activity category is listed under Health, Income Security, and Social Services, and the CFDA number is 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), tying the program to NICHDs broader mission around child and adolescent health and development.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of public, private, academic, governmental, and community-based entities. Eligible applicants include nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), public and private institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small businesses, state and local governments (including county, city/township, and special district governments), independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The FOA also explicitly welcomes tribal governments and tribal organizations (both federally recognized and other than federally recognized), and it extends eligibility to a number of institution types that often serve underrepresented populations, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions. Importantly for a program focused on Africa and Asia, non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations), regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are allowed, enabling on-the-ground research leadership and partnerships in the regions of interest.
Key dates indicate that the opportunity was posted and created on June 9, 2011, with an original and current closing date of November 17, 2011, and an archive date of December 18, 2011. While this means the specific FOA is now archived and no longer accepting applications, the summary details are still useful for understanding the type of research NICHD sought to stimulate at that time and for locating the full historical announcement and any related programmatic priorities that may have carried forward into later funding initiatives.
