Health Disparities in HIV/AIDS: Focus on African Americans (R03): -Purpose. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage drug abuse and mental health research to better understand the disparities in HIV/AIDS in minority populations, particularly among African Americans, who as a group, have experienced exceptionally high rates of new HIV infections and worse survival rates than other ethnic/racial groups in this country. Drug abuse research on HIV among African-Americans is encouraged to elucidate the relationship between drug use, abuse, and dependence on the incidence and prevalence of HIV/AIDS and AIDS-related morbidity and mortality; to develop effective, culturally sensitive prevention, intervention, and treatment programs for drug abuse and HIV/AIDS; and to understand the nexus of drug abuse, criminal justice involvement, and HIV/AIDS. Research on mental health issues in HIV risk and HIV infection among African Americans is encouraged on determinants of risk taking in a variety of contexts, the impact of neuropsychiatric comorbidities associated with HIV, development of a spectrum of culturally appropriate HIV interventions targeting mental health aspects, testing of behavioral interventions for their sustainability and translation to real-world settings, and improvement of mental health and HIV service utilization. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Small Research Grant (R03) award mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-07-116, that solicits applications under the R01 mechanism and PA-07-289, that solicits applications under the R21 mechanism. -The R03 grant mechanism supports different types of projects including pilot and feasibility studies; secondary analysis of existing data; small, self-contained research projects; development of research methodology; and development of new research technology.
