Description: Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), seeks research grant applications to advance understanding of the complex behavioral and social factors that partially determine the efficacy and effectiveness of new biomedical strategies to curb HIV infections. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism and runs in parallel to FOAs of identical scientific scope, RFA-MH-11-091 and RFA-MH-11-092, which encourage applications under the R21 and R34 mechanisms, respectively. The R21 mechanism would be used for projects that propose research in the exploratory or preliminary phases. The R34 mechanism would be used for early phases of treatment development. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NIMH intends to commit approximately $2,000,000 in FY 2011 to fund four to six grants in response to this FOA and the companion announcements.
