Mentoring Programs to Diversify the Mental Health and Substance Abuse HIV/AIDS Research Workforce through Innovative Educational Initiatives (R25): Purpose. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) was developed in response to: (i) simultaneous overrepresentation of individuals from racial and ethnic groups with HIV/AIDS, yet underrepresentation of individuals from racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds as HIV/AIDS researchers; (ii) insufficient scientific information about HIV/AIDS disparities experienced by members of underrepresented racial and ethnic groups; (iii) the paucity of HIV/AIDS mental health, and substance abuse research by investigators from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups; and (iv) the limited number of individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups who are pursuing careers in HIV/AIDS mental health and/or substance abuse research. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) encourage the development of research mentoring programs for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career faculty from underrepresented groups to improve the capacity for high quality HIV research and to facilitate the research career development of investigators in HIV/AIDS fields, particularly as they relate to mental health and substance abuse. This FOA solicits grant applications from applicant organizations that propose to: (i) develop a special summer institute for new and improved research mentorship programs targeting individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, or individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds relevant to the HIV/AIDS research missions of NIMH, NIAAA and NIDA and/or (ii) establish a central network of senior mentors in HIV/AIDS research for mentees from underrepresented groups (for the purpose of this FOA, underrepresented groups is defined as individuals from racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds). These mentoring programs should have a thematic focus on research/educational activities that relate to the mental health, substance abuse or CNS aspects of HIV infection (e.g., disparities, neuropsychiatry, neuropathogenesis, prevention, treatment, services).
