The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is seeking applications for its Minority HIV Research Initiative (MARI): Epidemiologic, Behavioral, and Implementation Science Research in Racial/Ethnic Minority Communities Disproportionately Affected by HIV and Build Research Capacity Among Historically Underrepresented Researchers.
Donor Name: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 01/15/2024
Size of the Grant: $100,000 to $500,000
Grant Duration: 4 Years
Details:
The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support promising epidemiologic, behavioral, and implementation science research addressing the drivers of health inequities in racial and ethnic minority communities disproportionately affected by HIV while strengthening the capacity for conducting such research among underrepresented investigators working in these communities. The NOFO supports CDC’s goals to promote health and reduce disease and disability by funding research that has the potential to result in high public health impact.
The goals of the NOFO are:
- To build capacity in epidemiologic, behavioral, and implementation science research related to HIV prevention and treatment services in minority communities by partnering with early-career investigators to address the drivers of health inequities in HIV outcomes in an effort to accelerate the progress to Ending the HIV Epidemic by 2030.
- To foster investigator-initiated research by early-career investigators at academic institutions that serve minority communities disproportionately affected by HIV infections; such research will complement and extend programmatic activities by the local and state departments of health toward Ending the HIV Epidemic by 2030.
Strategies and Activities
- Funded investigators will engage with community collaborators, relevant Health Departments (HDs) and local mentors to propose and develop epidemiologic, behavioral, and implementation science research projects addressing the drivers of health inequities towards Ending the HIV Epidemic in their communities.
- Funded investigators will develop and implement protocols to conduct highimpact HIV research in communities disproportionately affected by HIV, especially Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native communities.
- Funded investigators will receive training and technical assistance from local and CDC mentors in support of study implementation, data dissemination, writing scientific abstracts and manuscripts, and presenting at scientific conferences.
