Implementation Science to End the HIV Epidemic

<p>The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seeks to advance its mission by continuing support for&nbsp;<span style="background-color:white;">implementation science to end the HIV epidemic. Projects will leverage research-community collaborations to bring evidence-based advances in HIV prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cluster outbreak response to communities disproportionately impacted by HIV. The goals of these projects will be to: (1) Develop strategies to end HIV by integrating innovations across disciplines such as epidemiology, data science, public health, medicine, social services, implementation science, and community engagement, and&nbsp;(2) Deploy, test, and evaluate new or existing strategies at multiple geographic locations or settings.</span>&nbsp;<span style="background-color:white;">While deployment of these strategies will occur at the local scale, through partnerships with, local, state, and federal public health partners, the overall program will&nbsp;</span>advance generalized knowledge that informs larger scale efforts to end HIV.&nbsp;Grant authorities that allow NIAID to forecast this opportunity are as follows: Sections 301 and 405 of the Public Health Service Act as amended (42 USC 241 and 284) and under Federal Regulations 42 CFR Part 52 and 2 CFR Part 200.</p>
