Global Partnerships for Social Science AIDS Research (R24): - This RFA calls for collaborative applications between U.S. (or other developed country) institutions and institutions in countries hard hit by the HIV/AIDS epidemic.-The initiative is designed to enhance capabilities for rigorous behavioral and social science research in relation to HIV/AIDS within these countries.-Each of these grants will provide funding to strengthen the research infrastructure of local institutions and will also support a small portfolio [one to three studies] of relevant and innovative research. Research will be conducted with the leadership and involvement of local social and behavioral scientists in partnership with scientists in the U.S. and/or other developed countries.-Research topics should address social and behavioral issues in the prevention, care, and/or treatment of HIV/AIDS. It is hoped that the investigators involved in these grants will emerge as recognized leaders in the fields of behavioral and social sciences research related to HIV/AIDS.-All infrastructure development and capacity-strengthening requests must relate to the general goals of the research program. Allowable expenses and evaluation criteria are described in the document.-The total amount to be awarded. NICHD has committed $2.5 million, NIA has committed $1 million, and NIMH has committed $500,000.-It is anticipated that 7-11 awards will be made.-The R24 Mechanism will be used.-Eligible organizations include: for-profit and not-for-profit, public or private organizations, 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.-Eligible principal investigators are any individuals with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research and any proposed infrastructure and capacity-building activities. Non-U.S. scientists and researchers in developing countries are strongly encouraged to apply as the Principal Investigators and/or to assume other leadership roles in the proposed studies. Grants may be awarded to applicants from the United States, other developed countries, or from other countries that have been affected by the HIV epidemic.-Applicant institutions from developing countries may submit more than one application, provided they are scientifically distinct.
