Development and Testing of Novel Interventions to improve HIV Prevention, Treatment, and Program Implementation for People Who Use Drugs (R34 Clinical Trial Required)

This grant provides funding for the development and testing of new methods aimed at improving HIV prevention, treatment, and program implementation for drug users. These methods include formative research, intervention planning, and pilot-testing of interventions. Main scientific focus areas are the feasibility, tolerability, acceptability, and safety of these new or adapted measures that target HIV prevention, treatment, or services for people who use drugs.

The term "intervention" in this context may mean behavioral, social, or structural strategies, or a blend of biomedical and behavioral approaches. The purpose of these interventions is to prevent the spread and transmission of HIV infection or enhance clinical results for those living with HIV. This funding opportunity requires a clinical trial at the R34 level.
