Opportunity Summary:
Revision Applications for Research on Assessing the Role of Stigma in HIV Prevention and Care (R34) (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-MH-14-141) is a National Institutes of Health grant opportunity, led through the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), focused on building stronger evidence about how stigma affects HIV prevention and HIV care. The central purpose is to support research that clarifies, measures, and ultimately helps reduce HIV-associated stigma, because stigma can shape whether people seek testing, start prevention tools, enter care, stay in treatment, and achieve better health outcomes.
This announcement is specifically aimed at revision applications (previously referred to as competitive supplements), meaning it is designed for applicants who already have an existing, funded project and want to revise and extend that work to incorporate a focused stigma component. NIMH signals interest in several kinds of additions or expansions to ongoing projects: validating stigma measurement tools so they are accurate and meaningful across relevant populations and settings; studying how HIV-related stigma influences key prevention and care steps (for example, uptake, engagement, adherence, retention, and clinical outcomes); evaluating stigma reduction as an outcome within interventions that are already aimed at improving prevention or care; and conducting early-stage, pilot testing of new interventions specifically designed to reduce stigma. The overall emphasis is practical and research-driven: improve the science of stigma measurement and use that science to understand and improve real-world HIV prevention and care results.
The funding mechanism is an R34 grant, which is generally used for developmental and pilot work, supporting early-stage testing, feasibility assessments, and groundwork needed before larger-scale trials or broader implementation studies. The FOA lists an award ceiling of $200,000 and states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is broad and spans many organization types. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) organizations), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special district, and independent school districts). The eligibility language also highlights a range of mission- and community-centered institutions and organizations such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), faith-based and community-based organizations, and tribal governments and tribal organizations. Notably, non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations and foreign institutions) are eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations may participate; foreign components are allowed as defined by NIH policy.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant within the health activity area and is associated with CFDA number 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants). It was posted on February 13, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 1, 2013, and an archive date of June 1, 2013, indicating it is no longer open for new submissions under that specific announcement. The full announcement was made available through the NIH grants website, and NIH’s Office of Extramural Research (OER) provides support contacts for access or technical linking issues.
