Integration of Food and Nutrition into Prevention, Care, and Treatment of HIV Infection and AIDS (R03): -Purpose. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits Small Grant (R03) applications from domestic or foreign institutions that propose to expand our appreciation of the scope of nutritional problems in the context of HIV across various regions hard hit by the epidemic and to evaluate the impact of new guidelines (e.g., WHO Guidelines for nutritional care of people living with HIV and AIDS; PEPFAR Policy Guidance on the Use of Emergency Plan Funds to Address Food and Nutrition Needs) regarding use of food and nutrition support in programs designed to address HIV prevention, progression, care, and treatment. This FOA is intended to stimulate and strengthen a multidisciplinary approach to a complex, under-researched area and to form a basis for future research and clinical care. -Mechanism of Support. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will utilize the NIH Small Grant (R03) mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of complementary scientific scope (RFA-HD-07-022) that solicits applications under the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NICHD intends to commit approximately $400,000 to support six to eight awards in FY 2008. The NIMH intends to contribute $200,000 to support one to two R03 applications under this RFA. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications
