Opportunity Summary:
The Prevention Research with HIV Positive Individuals (R21) funding opportunity (PA 08-109) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant announcement led by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), with participation from the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). Its central aim is to support interdisciplinary research focused on the psychosocial and behavioral consequences of living with HIV. The announcement emphasizes "secondary prevention" or "positive prevention," meaning prevention efforts that start with people who are already HIV positive and are designed both to reduce behaviors that could transmit HIV and to improve overall health, coping, and quality of life. The agencies highlight that the prior decade brought meaningful progress in this area, but they are explicitly inviting new and innovative approaches to extend those gains.
This opportunity uses the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant mechanism (R21). In practical terms, an R21 is typically meant for early-stage, high-potential projects that may be more exploratory, developmental, or pilot in nature than a full-scale R01. The FOA is part of a larger set of related announcements with similar scientific scope, but different grant mechanisms: PA 08-107 (R01), PA 08-108 (R03), and PA 06-248 (R34). The R21 version is positioned for applicants who need support to test new concepts, develop intervention approaches, or generate preliminary data in the area of prevention research with HIV positive individuals. The announcement also notes that not every NIH institute participates across all the parallel FOAs, so applicants are expected to pay attention to which organizations are participating in each mechanism.
In terms of funding parameters, the listed award ceiling is $200,000, and the number of awards is not fixed. Instead, awards depend on the availability of funds and the receipt of a sufficient number of high-quality, competitive applications. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of domestic organizations, such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status), state and local governments (including counties, cities, townships, special districts), independent school districts, public or Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and non-federally recognized tribal organizations. For-profit organizations (other than small businesses) and small businesses are also eligible, as well as additional applicant types described in the full announcement. A notable point is that foreign institutions are eligible to apply, which is not always the case across NIH opportunities and can be important for international HIV research collaborations.
The FOA was posted on March 18, 2008, and later shows administrative dates including a creation date of November 27, 2009, with closing dates listed in the record (an original closing date of January 7, 2011 and a current closing date of January 7, 2010), and an archive date of February 7, 2010. The program is categorized under discretionary grant funding, with activity areas spanning education, health, income security, and social services. The associated CFDA numbers are 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants), 93.361 (Nursing Research), and 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), reflecting the cross-cutting nature of the research topics and the participating institutes.
Overall, this grant opportunity is designed to push forward research that helps people living with HIV/AIDS reduce transmission-related risk behaviors while also addressing the behavioral health and psychosocial realities of HIV disease, including coping, mental health, and quality-of-life outcomes. Applicants are directed to the full announcement for complete details and are provided contacts through the NIH Office of Extramural Research for technical access issues related to the posting.
