Funding Opportunity Description The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research educational activities that complement other formal training programs in the mission areas of the NIH Institutes and Centers. The overarching goal of this R25 program is to support educational activities that encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, to pursue further studies or careers in research. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this NOFO will support educational activities with a primary focus on: Research Experiences: The proposed research experiences may be targeted to undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctorates or early to mid-career faculty and should be designed to extend their research skills, experiences and knowledge base. The nature of research experiences should be tailored to the needs and career levels of participants and engage them in NIDCD-funded research or expose them to skills, experiences and knowledge base related to NIDCD research. It is expected that mentoring will be provided in conjunction with planned research experiences and participants will design individualized development plans (IDPs) that are compatible with their needs and experience. Provide hands-on authentic research experiences that reflect intellectual contribution to the project and for undergraduate students to engage them in NIDCD-funded research; for graduate students to provide research experiences and related training not available through formal NIH training mechanisms; for postdoctorates and early-to-mid career faculty to extend their skills, experiences, and knowledge base. In addition to hands-on research experiences, programs are expected to include complementary activities that support the participants' scientific development, such as research experience programs are expected to incorporate complementary activities that support the participants' scientific development, such as scientific writing and presentation skills and scientific approaches for ensuring rigor and reproducibility. The nature of research experiences should be tailored to the needs and career levels of participants. It is expected that mentoring will be provided in conjunction with planned research experiences and participants will design individualized development plans (IDPs) that are compatible with their needs and experience. Mentoring Activities: Activities may include, but are not limited to, dedicated efforts at providing not only technical expertise, but advice, insight, and professional career skills to college students, graduate students, postdoctorates and/or early-to-mid career faculty; facilitating scholarly writing and grantsmanship; promoting successful transitions from one career stage to another; providing leadership development; helping to identify potential collaborators; and helping to establish interdisciplinary collaborations in order to foster a career trajectory towards independent research. Additionally, the NIH realizes that quality mentorship is critical to the recruitment and retention of scientists, including those from underrepresented groups. Structure and Belonging: Pathways to Success for Underrepresented Minority and Women Ph.D. Students in STEM Fields; The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM). Therefore, this NOFO welcomes programs aimed at improving the caliber of mentorship. For example, workshops to educate mentors on establishing and sustaining effective research mentoring relationships (e.g. summer course or a workshop accompanying a NIDCD's mission-related scientific meeting in which case-based scenarios may be used to educate mentors on various relevant ethical, professional and cultural issues facing students today for example, effective communication and mentoring compacts, or addressing cultural awareness, among others). Also, the program intends to support innovative mentoring activities within scientific and/or professional societies and organizations in NIDCD's research areas. Mentors from all demographic backgrounds should be encouraged to participate in the proposed program. Fostering diversity in the scientific research workforce is a key component of the NIH strategy to identify, develop, support, and maintain the quality of our scientific human capital. NIDCD is committed to the development of a diverse biomedical research workforce. NIDCD aims to promote diversity in all of training and research programs. Diversity among the biomedical research workforce is vital to our science enterprise and the NIH research mission. This R25 Program is a flexible and specialized initiative designed to promote broad participation in the NIDCD extramural workforce and foster the development of NIDCD researchers from diverse backgrounds, including from underrepresented groups, across career stages, geographic location, and fields of expertise. Thus, it encourages applications from organizations that propose innovative mentoring and professional development activities in all NIDCD research areas (hearing, balance, taste, smell, voice, speech, and language). NIDCD expects applicant institutions to propose programs that will lead to an improvement in the research and technical skills, professional development, mentoring and scientific expertise of individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups that are nationally underrepresented in research across career stages, geographic location, and fields of expertise. Programs that target transitions and/or more than one career stage for research career advancement and progression are strongly encouraged. This initiative will support the development of collaborative research education partnerships that will increase participantsโ awareness and interest in NIDCD's research areas, develop participantsโ scientific knowledge and skills that will allow them to progress and transition to more advanced research education and training activities. Proposed program interventions in response to this NOFO should also focus on asset models and leadership opportunities, rather than solely deficit models and remediation. Although this Diversity R25 is not a research instrument, applicants should develop education programs and activities that can be amenable to formal program evaluation to determine their effectiveness. A specific plan must be provided for program evaluation (see Section IV, Evaluation Plan). For some types of projects, a plan for disseminating results may also be appropriate and may be required as well (see Section IV, Dissemination Plan). NIDCD recognizes the heterogeneity of institutional/organizational settings and missions; therefore, the scope, purpose, and objectives of initiatives proposed in response to this NOFO are anticipated to be very diverse. NIDCD encourages applications from scientific professional societies in NIDCD's mission research areas, as well as applications that create partnerships (e.g., between professional societies and academic institutions; between research-intensive institutions and less research-intensive institutions; and/or institutions with a historical commitment to training students from underrepresented racial or ethnic groups ((see Notice of NIH's Interest in Diversity); and/or academic or non-profit partnerships where health professionals might engage in research). Applications may focus on specific career stage(s) and/or transitions between multiple career stages. Research education programs may complement ongoing research training and education occurring at the applicant institution, but the proposed educational experiences must be distinct from those training and education programs currently receiving Federal support. Research education programs may augment institutional research training programs (e.g., T32, T90) but cannot be used to replace or circumvent Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) programs. Note: Applicants may choose to address one or more of the activities listed above. Program Considerations Consistent with NIH practices and applicable law: An individual candidateโs race, ethnicity, or sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, or transgender status) may not be considered as a factor for purposes of program eligibility or candidate selection. NIDCD does not use the race, ethnicity, or sex of candidates in the application review process or funding decisions. Applicant institutions are encouraged to conduct outreach activities to foster awareness of this research funding opportunity for potential candidates from all backgrounds, including those from underrepresented groups. Applicant and awardee institutions should consult with their General Counsel to ensure all applicable laws and regulations are being followed in program design and implementation.

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support innovative population-based research that can contribute to identifying and characterizing pathways and mechanisms through which work or occupation influences health outcomes and health status among populations with health and/or health care disparities, and how work functions as a social determinant of health.The main objective of this initiative is to determine the extent and mechanisms by which work as a SDOH both contributes to, and helps ameliorate, health and health care disparities. A recent workshop on September 28-29, 2020 organized by NIMHD (https://www.nimhd.nih.gov/news-events/conferences-events/hd-workshop.html) highlighted key ideas for furthering research on work as a SDOH that include conceptualizing work as a social class marker, as a source of exposures and risk factors, and as a source of beneficial social and economic resources such as income and wealth, neighborhood conditions, health care access, education, and social networks. Some key questions include: What are the specific and modifiable mechanisms by which work explains health disparities? To what extent does work as a social class marker, source of exposures and risk factors and/or source of beneficial social and economic resources explain health disparities? Which health disparities does work as a SDOH explain? Of particular interest are projects designed to examine pathways and mechanisms using conceptual model(s) grounded in minority health and health disparities theories that recognize that health disparities arise by multiple and overlapping contributing factors acting at multiple levels of influence (See the NIMHD Research Framework, https://www.nimhd.nih.gov/about/overview/research-framework.html). Studies must examine NIH-designated U.S. health disparity populations, e.g. racial and ethnic minority populations, sexual and gender minority groups, underserved rural populations, and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations of any race or ethnicity (https://www.nimhd.nih.gov/about/overview/). Studies involving primary data collection with human participants are strongly encouraged to incorporate SDOH measures from the Core and Specialty collections that are available in the Social Determinants of Health Collection of the PhenX Toolkit (www.phenxtoolkit.org). Of interest are intersectional approaches that consider different social identities and the embeddedness of individuals within families, households, and communities. Life course approaches that consider the role of work in shaping cumulative processes and critical transitions including periods of unemployment, under-employment, and unpaid and informal work arrangements, are also encouraged. Also, of interest is considering the role of work at the household level with influences on the health of partners and extended families, and the intergenerational transmission to children and their health. In addition, exploring the role of inequity-generating mechanisms that constrain choices around work and health such as racism and discrimination by sex, age, marital status, immigration status, social class, and other power structures is also encouraged. Additionally, of interest are projects that explore whether work can explain the health or health care disparities seen within diseases or conditions (e.g., COVID-19, opioid use disorder, mental/behavioral health, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, asthma, and maternal and infant health ) as well as disparities in co-morbidities and general indicators of health such as greater global burden of disease, quality of life, and daily functioning. Projects that utilize a syndemics lens (i.e., multiple disease states that are interlinked because of social, environmental, and structural conditions), to examine the role of work in disparities in co-occurring health conditions, are encouraged. Also, of interest are projects that explore how work contributes to health care disparities including but not limited to disparities in access to preventive, specialty, and emergency care, in health insurance coverage, and in quality of health care. Moreover, given the reciprocal relationship between work and health, of interest are projects that examine how health impacts access to different work opportunities, working conditions, and work benefits, and how that varies by different social identities. Projects may involve primary data collection and/or secondary analysis of existing datasets. Projects may utilize observational studies, natural experiments, quasi-experiments, simulation modeling, as well as use of large-scale longitudinal data sets, data mining techniques, registries, surveillance data, and linking to administrative data sets such as the Occupational Information Network (O*NET). Quantitative and mixed methods approaches are encouraged. Investigators are encouraged as appropriate for the research questions posed, to forge research collaborations with community partners and stakeholders in the conceptualization, planning and implementation of the research to generate better-informed hypotheses and enhance the translation of the research results into practice.

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support the continuation of NIDA's HIV Cohorts Program, encouraging existing and new sites to address new emerging and/or high priority research on multidisciplinary aspects of HIV/AIDS and substance abuse in alignment with NIH-HIV research priorities in order to inform policy or practice. Purpose The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) supports a program of longitudinal cohort studies that addresses the intersection of HIV and substance use. This program is a multidisciplinary platform to support basic, epidemiologic, and clinical research on HIV and HIV-associated co-morbidities and co-infections among populations with substance use and substance use disorders (SUDs) and to address research questions at the individual and population level. The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to support the continuation of NIDA's HIV Cohorts Program, encouraging existing and new sites to address new emerging and/or high priority research on multidisciplinary aspects of HIV/AIDS and substance use in alignment with NIH-HIV research priorities in order to inform policy or practice. Cohort sites supported under this program are required to report to and collaborate with a NIDA funded Coordinating Center, including participating in research agendas addressing NIDAโs high priority areas. Background Since the start of the HIV epidemic, cohort studies of people living with HIV (PLWH) and key populations at risk for HIV acquisition have made important contributions to the understanding of HIV virology, seroconversion dynamics, the natural and treated histories of HIV infection, the impact of HIV-associated co-morbidities (e.g., HCV) and complications including the role of substance use and SUDs. Longitudinal cohorts of at-risk individuals can provide crucial information about acute or early phases of infection, as well as disease transmission. Cohort studies provide a continuous source of data collection with the ability to address new or emergent public health problems, changes in drug use patterns and uptake of screening, prevention, or new treatments. Cohorts can also add to the understanding of processes such as aging, co-morbidities, social dimensions of HIV and substance use epidemics, as well as structural factors such as state and local policies, health insurance, and availability of relevant services. Research Objectives and Scope Research by each site should focus on high-risk populations or PLWH, who use substances. This RFA will seek applications from investigators working with HIV populations most affected by HIV (i.e., those at highest risk or living with HIV) in the United States. These can include sexual and gender minorities, racial/ethnic minorities, people involved in the criminal justice system and sex workers. Cohort populations should reflect social and economic characteristics of affected populations. Rural and metropolitan populations are welcome. This initiative also targets priority jurisdictions identified by the Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) initiative, although other jurisdictions will be considered with an epidemiologic justification (e.g., rural counties affected by opioid epidemics). Applicants must demonstrate the capacity to: Be responsive to changes to substance use and HIV epidemics, such as new substance use patterns, introduction of new substances; emergent co-morbidities including infectious diseases such as Mpox, COVID-19 and others, changes to public health policies, or to HIV/substance use treatments or prevention strategies. Applicants are strongly encouraged to include research that focuses on HIV-associated infectious co-morbidities (e.g., HCV, other sexual-transmitted disorders [STD]) and HIV-associated non-infectious co-morbidities, such as neurocognitive or other central nervous system impairment, mental health disorders and relevant medical disorders. [Note: The main focus of research should be the intersection of HIV and Substance Use, with co-morbidities as co-factors.] Partner with the end-user of the knowledge/data that would be generated (e.g., prevention specialists, Public Health officials, health departments, justice systems, policymakers, community organizations, etc.) and should thoroughly explain how the knowledge would be used to inform decisions and implement change. The involvement of the end-user is to ensure that the proposed data and methods will be useful. The partnerships with key end-users can be existing, or new relationships initiated based on success of previous stakeholder engagement and preparation to implement proposed work in a new setting. Collect data that can be used to inform policy and practice and include collaborations with potential end-users of cohort data such as those involved in HIV planning processes (e.g., EHE, Ryan White, CDC prevention funding) as well as service providers and provider organizations (e.g., health systems, federally qualified health centers [FQHCs], harm reduction sites). Participate in the collection of common data elements and biospecimens and participate in activities related to multi-site research such as data harmonization by working in concordance with the Data Coordinating Center. All sites are expected to collaborate and share all their data at least twice a year with the Data Coordinating Center. Assess variables that reflect system and structural factors that can affect HIV acquisition, utilization of prevention or treatment services, HIV viral suppression, substance use and/or factors that can influence dissemination of emergent prevention and care interventions. Research projects should address populations and research questions not captured by other HIV studies currently funded by NIH, including those co-funded by NIDA such as the WIHS/MACS Combined Cohort Study (MWCCS), the Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS) or the NIAID Limited Interaction Targeted Epidemiology (LITE) cohorts while also being able to work with these outside cohorts on research questions where complementary of age, patterns of substance use, etc., may be desirable. Common Scientific Agenda and Collaboration with Data Coordinating Center: All sites are expected to collaborate and share all their data, at least twice a year, with the Data Coordinating Center at the University of Washington which will provide technical assistance, support, and resources. Clinical data and biological samples collected via the cohort(s) are expected to be available for sharing and use by the scientific community. Sites will also be expected to participate in collaborative activities including at least one annual meeting and monthly/quarterly conference calls with the Data Coordinating Center. Common Scientific Agenda All sites are also expected to participate in a common scientific agenda. The scientific areas listed below outline high priority research areas for NIDA that should be accomplished by each site during the five-year award period. There needs to be a clear justification of the clinical assessments, specimen collections, surveys and other measures, the frequency of participant visits and sampling from the cohort studies. Applications may propose additional research areas that are contemporary and are of high significance to the cooccurring HIV and substance use epidemics. Substance use and SUDs: drug use trends, types of drug use and frequency in relation to HIV risk and outcomes, risks associated with overdose related death HIV-related co-morbidities (HCV, Neurocognitive disorders) COVID-19; MPox and other sexually transmitted disorders), medical consequences, epidemiology, prevention, treatment, and outcomes in acute and chronic HIV Implementation: HIV and SUD services, uptake, and delivery. Point-of-care rapid testing, referral, and treatment, geocoding HIV viral loads: in relation to substance use, treatment, and co-morbidities Treatment: HIV and SUD treatment uptake and adherence, linkage to care Social determinants of health: socioeconomic factors, social support, trauma/violence, stigma, discrimination, life transitions, and food insecurity and the mechanisms of action through which they may affect health outcomes among people living with or at risk of HIV acquisition Brain and CNS: behavioral and psychiatric abnormalities, neurocognitive alterations in the context of substance use and HIV Genomic and phenotypic data in the context of HIV, co-morbidities, and substance use Research Strategy: Sites funded under this RFA will serve as a national resource for research addressing the intersection of HIV and substance use in the United States. Applications should include multidisciplinary teams and should select key populations at risk for HIV acquisition or populations of PLWH. Variables should reflect substance use in the study population with particular attention to its relevance for HIV acquisition, transmission, response to HIV treatment and/or viral suppression. Studies should address variables related to policy and practice such as HIV, substance use and other health care/public health service utilization, health insurance, key HIV risk populations and PLWH, people who experience marginalized social and sexual identities. Data collection should address stigma and discrimination as well as resource constraints (e.g., food, shelter, access to reliable transportation, access to reliable and private internet connectivity), particularly those which may limit participation in public health or health care services. Data collection should reflect current best clinical and methodologic practices and can include biospecimen collection, behavioral data from surveys or interviews, electronic health records and other methods that are consistent with study aims and objectives. The research strategy should include collaborations with potential end-users of cohort data such as those involved in HIV planning processes (e.g., EHE, Ryan White, CDC prevention funding) as well as service providers and provider organizations (e.g., health systems, FQHCs, harm reduction sites) or others (prevention specialists, Public Health officials, health departments, justice systems, policymakers, community organizations, etc.). Applications must thoroughly explain how the knowledge/data would be used to inform decisions, policy, practice and/or implement change. Applications need to address NIH and NIDAโs highest priority areas of research: Research Priorities | NIH Office of AIDS Research NIDA HIV Priority Areas Sites should consider their capacity to address areas of interest such as the following: System and structural level factors that lead to HIV acquisition Social determinants of HIV and substance use, including factors that increase exposure to HIV and substance use New or emerging substance use patterns and recovery approaches Long-term HIV/substance use outcomes and medical consequences such as those associated with aging and HIV Capturing the effects of systemic interventions to increase prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, including differences in HIV testing service, utilization, etc. that occur in different settings such as community organizations, FQHCs, and health systems. In addition, sites are strongly encouraged to: Expand existing populations: Increasing the representation of PLWH, ensuring the representation of sexual and gender minorities, ethnic/racial minorities and people with lived experiences, factors that contribute to HIV risk and poor treatment outcomes such as homelessness, engaging in sex work, and criminal justice involvement. EHE priority jurisdictions should be addressed in the application with epidemiologic justification provided for non-EHE jurisdictions such as rural areas affected by opioid epidemics. Demonstrate their capacity to recruit and follow populations of adequate sample size and power (i.e., >500). Smaller sample sizes need justification with respect to local epidemiology and factors such as population and service density. Sites with established cohorts should demonstrate their capacity to, and describe plans to, refresh samples and continue to recruit participants and comply with the NIH data sharing policy. The Research Strategy should: Describe how substance use in the population will be characterized i.e., specific drugs used, level and history of use, form of administration, continuum cascade of substance use, and/or changing patterns over time including initiation. Describe methods for the recruitment, enrollment, and retention of cohort participants, describing previous experience with recruitment and retention of longitudinal samples. Describe the data collection methods and their appropriateness for the variables of interest, as well as the primary analyses of data, providing a rationale for the analytic methods selected and the statistical power for major analyses. Include specific proposed data elements, such as clinical data, summary health histories, biologic specimens, socio-behavioral data, or treatment variables that will support the study aims Given the requirement of data sharing across cohort sites, the discussion should address how proposed data elements could incorporate common or shared platforms. Provide justification of the priority research domains for the cohort study and for the approaches to achieving the study aims. The study rationale should indicate how the cohort will address gaps in current NIH-funded HIV cohort research (e.g., MWCCS, CNICS, LITE) and indicate where it might complement existing cohort research. Describe experience with participation in multi-site research, particularly where data sharing was integrated into the research. Applications also should describe the administrative and organizational structure for the project and how it will facilitate attainment of the aims and objective of the proposed research. Where biospecimens are routinely collected, applications should describe procedures for processing, storage, and sharing for use by the scientific community. Document alignment with EHE plans or other appropriate HIV service plans (e.g., CDC/Ryan White planning processes) and provide a plan for engaging local decision makers, as well as document how cohort data can inform local decisions about resource allocation and service delivery. For renewal applications, applicants should provide a rationale for continued funding including information regarding any new data collection. Renewal applicants must provide plans to demonstrate program relevance and to ensure representation of current HIV/substance use epidemic patterns. Applications Not Responsive to this NOFO include: The following types of applications will be considered non-responsive and will be returned without review: Studies that do not have the capacity to adhere to data sharing requirements and data harmonizing activities with the data coordinating center (transferring data, common data elements or biorepository data sharing) as specified above. Studies with less than 500 participants without adequate justification. Applications with a primary focus on research related to end organ or systemic disease related to comorbidities such as cardiac, liver, or chronic kidney diseases, hypertension, and bone disorders. Studies that do not focus on HIV infection and substance use and/or outcomes. Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP) This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP) as described in NOT-MH-21-310, submitted as Other Project Information as an attachment (see Section IV). Applicants are strongly encouraged to read the NOFO instructions carefully and view the available PEDP guidance material.
