Culturally Appropriate Research to Prevent HIV Transmission and Infection in Young People (R2): This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits Exploratory/ Developmental (R21) grant applications from applicant organizations that invite research that incorporates an in-depth understanding of cultural appropriateness to HIV prevention research among young people in the United States or abroad. The overall purpose of the FOA is to develop theoretically grounded approaches to prevention of HIV infection and transmission in young people based upon a broad definition of culture. At minimum this involves knowledge of the norms, beliefs and values of youth in varied contexts, and an appreciation of culture as dynamic. It is anticipated that such knowledge will improve both the quality and applicability of research among the diverse populations affected by the pandemic who have all grown up never knowing a world without AIDS. Intervention studies are welcomed, but descriptive research is still needed in some areas. For example, descriptive research may delineate the impact of cultural variables on behaviors that impede or promote biological markers. Intervention studies should evaluate the efficacy of culturally appropriate interventions upon behavioral and biological outcomes. In addition, studies that advance theory and method, in particular the integration of sociocultural with biobehavioral research are of interest.
