Men's Heterosexual Behavior and HIV Infection: - This PA 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. - The total amount to be awarded depends on the scientific merit of applications and the funds available at the participating NIH Institutes/Centers. - The anticipated number of awards is contingent on the scientific merit of applications submitted and the funds available in the general funding pool of the participating NIH Institutes/Centers. - The award mechanisms to be used are the Research Project Grant (R01), Small Grant (R03), and Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21). - 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, and Native American tribal organizations. - Eligible principal investigators are any individuals with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. - The number of applications each applicant may submit is unrestricted. - The PHS 398 application instructions are available at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.html in an interactive format.
