    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) aimed at developing and testing HIV prevention interventions specifically for Black and Hispanic men who have sex with men (MSM) who use substances. Identified as RFA-PS-25-113, this initiative seeks to address significant health disparities in HIV infection rates within these populations. A total of $2.85 million is allocated for a three-year performance period, with two awards expected, each supporting the development and evaluation of culturally competent strategies that enhance PrEP (Pre-exposure prophylaxis) adherence and condom use. The funding allows eligible institutions to conduct research that meets CDC's Best Evidence framework, focusing on encouraging sexual protective behaviors in priority jurisdictions outlined in the “Ending the HIV Epidemic” (EHE) initiative. Applications are encouraged from various organizations, with a strong emphasis on partnerships with community-based groups and health departments. The project aims to assess and potentially expand successful interventions into officially endorsed programs for widespread community implementation, thereby contributing to national goals for reducing HIV infections. The application deadline is set for February 20, 2025, with an intended start date of September 1, 2025.
