Strengthening the HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Care Continuum through Behavioral, Social, and Implementation Science (R21)

Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) Number PA-17-103

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages behavioral, social, and implementation science research designed to (a) identify gaps in the HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) care continuum and associated determinants; (b) develop and test interventions to strengthen PrEP delivery, use, and outcomes; and (c) reduce racial/ethnic and age-related disparities in PrEP uptake and use.
This FOA uses the R21 grant mechanism while companion FOA PA-17-104 uses the R01 mechanism. High risk/high payoff projects that lack preliminary data are appropriate for the R21 mechanism, while applicants with preliminary data who propose longitudinal analyses and/or large scale projects may consider the R01 mechanism.
