Opportunity Summary:
The NIH funding opportunity titled "Prevention Research with HIV Positive Individuals (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-08-107) supports research focused on the psychosocial and behavioral consequences of living with HIV. The core aim is to advance "positive prevention," meaning secondary prevention efforts that work with people who are already HIV-positive to reduce behaviors that could transmit HIV, strengthen healthy coping, and improve overall quality of life. The participating NIH institutes for this announcement are the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), signaling an interest in interdisciplinary projects that connect mental health, nursing, and broader developmental and family-related health perspectives.
This FOA uses the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism, which typically funds well-developed, hypothesis-driven studies with a substantial scope and research plan. The announcement also notes that it is part of a coordinated set of opportunities with similar scientific goals but different grant mechanisms, including an R03 (small research grant), an R21 (exploratory/developmental), and an R34 (exploratory grants for mental health interventions and services). In practical terms, applicants whose ideas are at different stages of readiness can align their proposal with the mechanism that best fits the maturity and scale of their project, while this specific announcement is designed for full research projects suited to an R01.
The research area emphasized here reflects progress made over the previous decade in understanding and improving secondary prevention among people living with HIV/AIDS. The FOA highlights ongoing needs and opportunities for innovation in reducing transmission risk behaviors, supporting adherence and health-protective behaviors, addressing mental and behavioral health challenges linked to HIV, and identifying factors that promote resilience and healthier coping. The intent is not only to prevent onward transmission, but also to improve day-to-day functioning and well-being for HIV-positive individuals, recognizing that mental health, social context, stigma, relationships, and behavior change are deeply connected to health outcomes.
Funding decisions under this announcement depend on available funds and the number of high-quality applications received. No cost sharing or matching is required. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is associated with CFDA numbers 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants), 93.361 (Nursing Research), and 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), which helps indicate the programmatic lanes NIH may use to support awards.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations, such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses, though small businesses are also listed as eligible), state and local governments, tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, and other entities as clarified in the full announcement. Foreign institutions are explicitly eligible to apply, which is notable for investigators working in international settings or with global HIV research partnerships.
Key administrative details include a posted date of March 18, 2008, with the announcement later archived (archive date February 7, 2010). The original closing date listed is January 7, 2011, with a current closing date of January 7, 2010, reflecting that the opportunity is no longer active and is provided now as an archived record.
