Men s Heterosexual Behavior And HIV Infection (R21): This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), National Institutes of Health (NIH), calls for basic social and behavioral science studies on the determinants of the sexual behavior of adult heterosexual men. Adult men who have sex with women play a major role in HIV transmission. Improved information on their behaviors can suggest ways to increase men's active participation in preventing the spread of HIV infection and provide program designers with information to improve interventions and prevention strategies. Currently, there are serious shortcomings in this field because of inadequate knowledge concerning heterosexual men's perspectives. -Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. -This FOA will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (R21) award mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-06-354, that solicits applications under the Small Research Grant (R03) award mechanism. Applicants wishing to submit applications under the traditional Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism are referred to the initial funding opportunity, PA-05-033. -The R21 is not renewable. - Budget and Project Period: The total project period for an application submitted in response to this funding opportunity may not exceed two years. Direct costs are limited to $275,000 over an R21 two-year period, with no more than $200,000 in direct costs allowed in any single year. - Eligible Organizations: For-profit and non-profit organizations; public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories; units of State and local governments; eligible agencies of the Federal government; domestic or foreign institutions/organizations; faith-based or community-based organizations; Indian/Native American Tribal Government (Federally Recognized); Indian/Native American Tribal Government (Other than Federally Recognized); and Indian/Native American Tribally Designated Organization.
