Structural Interventions, Alcohol Use, and Risk of HIV/AIDS: This RFA requests research on the effectiveness of structural interventions that reduce the risk of HIV/AIDS transmission by changing the environment of alcohol use. Although a variety of structural and environmental interventions have been employed successfully to reduce other drinking-related problems, there has been little research that extends such efforts into the realm of HIV/AIDS risk reduction. Approximately $2,000,000 will be awarded in FY 2005 in funding 5 to 7 new and/or competitive continuation grants in response to this RFA. This RFA is a one-time solicitation, and will use the NIH Research Project Grant (R01), Exploratory/ Developmental Grant (R21), and Small Grant (R03) award mechanisms. The acknowledged novelty of the research direction called for in this Announcement may make the R21 and R03 mechanisms particularly appropriate for many applicants. Eligible organizations include for-profit or non-profit organizations, public or private ! institutions (e.g., universities, colleges, hospitals), units of state and local governments, eligible agencies of the Federal government, domestic or foreign institutions, and faith-based or community-based organizations. Eligible principal investigators include any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply for NIH programs. Applications must be prepared using the PHS 398 research grant application instructions and forms (rev. 5/2001). The PHS 398 document is available at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.html in an interactive format.
