Mentoring Programs to Diversify the Mental Health HIV/AIDS Research Workforce through Innovative Educational Initiatives (R25): -This funding opportunity was developed inresponse to: (i) simultaneous over-representation of racial and ethnicminority (REM) individuals among those with HIV/AIDS, yet there remainsthe under-representation of individuals from REM groups as HIV/AIDSresearchers; (ii) insufficient scientific information about HIV/AIDSdisparities experienced by members of REM groups, and (iii) the paucityof HIV/AIDS mental health and alcohol abuse research produced byinvestigators from REM groups; and (iv) the limited number of REMindividuals who are pursuing careers in HIV/AIDS mental health and/oralcohol abuse research. -The National Institute of Mental Health(NIMH) and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism(NIAAA) encourage the development of research mentoring programs forgraduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career faculty toimprove the capacity for high quality HIV research. These mentoringprograms would serve: (i) individuals from REM (i.e., African Americans,Hispanics, Native Americans/Alaska Natives, Asian/PacificIslanders/Native Hawaiians) and/or (ii) individuals with disability,and/or (iii) non-minority individuals focused on HIV/AIDS disparitiesresearch issues. These groups of individuals may be located at MinorityServing Institutions (i.e., Hispanic Serving Institutions, HistoricallyBlack Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities) orMinority Predominant Institutions (i.e., with greater than 50 percentREM enrollment) or research-intensive institutions. Mentoring programsmay also be proposed to develop a network of established investigatorsin HIV/AIDS for racial and ethnic minorities and for non-minoritiesstudying HIV/AIDS disparities. These programs would be expected toexpand the pool of qualified mentors and thereby facilitate the researchcareer development of investigators in HIV/AIDS fields (e.g.,disparities, neuropsychiatry, neuropathogenesis, prevention, treatment,services), particularly as they relate to mental health and drug abuse.

Additional Information on Eligibility
Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply. Eligible agencies of the Federal Government can apply. Responsiveness Criteria. The intent of this PA is to establish mentoring programs for under-represented racial and ethnic minorities or for non-minorities focused on HIV/AIDS disparities issues. These mentoring programs should be in the format of either an intensive institute or a network of established mentors and should address a thematic aspect of mental health HIV/AIDS research within an interdisciplinary or translational framework. Applications that do not propose either a special institute or a network of mentors will not be reviewed. Applications that do not propose a thematic approach to mental health HIV/AIDS research or an interdisciplinary/ translational framework will not be reviewed. Applications that do not have an evaluation and tracking plan will not be reviewed. Applications that do not have a section describing quantifiable milestones will not be reviewed. Applications must follow the supplementary instructions provided in Section IV.6. Participant mentees: Doctoral and postdoctoral candidates and junior faculty level candidates from REM groups (i.e., African Americans, Hispanics, Native American/Alaska Natives, Asian/Pacific Islanders/Native Hawaiians and) who will conduct NIMH-AIDS or NIAAA-AIDS relevant research and/or non-minority individuals, at these same levels, whose research focuses on HIV/AIDS disparities issues. Program Faculty/Mentors: Participating faculty/mentors must be actively engaged in mentoring, research or other scholarly activities related to the mental health or the CNS aspects of HIV/AIDS, or in other HIV-related disciplines relevant to the proposed research education program. Sponsoring Institution/Organization: The sponsoring institution/organization must provide evidence of commitment to and support of the proposed program, e.g., providing adequate facilities, staff and faculty time, computer services, and educational resources necessary for the program.
