Opportunity Summary:

Prevention Research with HIV Positive Individuals (R03) (Funding Opportunity Number PA-08-108) is a National Institutes of Health grant opportunity sponsored by 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). The focus is on interdisciplinary research that looks at the psychosocial and behavioral consequences of living with HIV, with a strong emphasis on what is often called "secondary prevention" or "positive prevention." In practical terms, the announcement is aimed at studies that help reduce behaviors that can transmit HIV while also improving the day-to-day quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS, including work that deepens understanding of what supports healthy coping over time. The agencies note that the field has advanced over the previous decade, but they also signal that there is still room for new ideas, improved approaches, and innovative research directions.

This opportunity uses the NIH R03 mechanism, which is designed for small, time-limited projects that can be completed with modest resources. The FOA explicitly highlights the kinds of projects that fit well under an R03, including pilot and feasibility studies, secondary analyses of existing datasets, small self-contained research projects, and efforts to develop research methods or new research technology relevant to HIV positive prevention. The overall intent is to support projects that can quickly test promising concepts, generate preliminary data, refine measures or interventions, or explore new methodological tools that could later be expanded into larger studies.

Administratively, the program is categorized as a discretionary grant opportunity, and it falls under activity areas that include education, health, income security, and social services. It 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). The announcement states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.

Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that commonly apply for NIH funding. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, city/township, county, and state governments, tribal organizations and federally recognized tribal governments, independent school districts, special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, small businesses, and for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses). Importantly, foreign institutions are also eligible to apply, which opens the door to international research teams or settings when appropriate to the scientific aims.

Key dates included in the source information indicate the FOA was posted March 18, 2008, with closing dates listed around January 2010 to January 2011 depending on the version referenced, and an archive date of February 7, 2010. For full details, including specific submission instructions and any institute-specific priorities, the complete announcement is available through the NIH Grants Guide at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-08-108.html.
