    The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is offering a funding opportunity to explore microglial pathophysiology in individuals with co-occurring HIV and substance use disorder (SUD). This grant, identified as RFA-DA-25-014, focuses on studying protein interaction networks within HIV-infected microglia, examining how host-viral interactions contribute to altered cellular signaling specific to brain regions affected by these conditions. The program consists of a two-phased approach: the R61 phase will focus on measuring protein interactions and effects of HIV and drug exposure, while the R33 phase will extend these analyses to in vivo models. The funding opportunity encourages applications from various organizations, including higher education institutions and nonprofits, with an emphasis on incorporating innovative approaches and quantitative protein profiling techniques. A total of $2.5M is designated for 3-6 awards, and proposals must be submitted electronically by August 15, 2025. The application will be evaluated on significance, investigator qualifications, innovation, approach, and the research environment. This initiative aims to fill knowledge gaps surrounding microglial functions related to HIV and SUD, ultimately contributing to potential therapeutic interventions.
