    The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and specifically the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), has issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) aimed at exploring the interactions between HIV infection and substance use disorders (SUDs). The funding opportunity supports high-risk, high-impact exploratory studies that investigate mechanisms of HIV in the context of SUDs, particularly focusing on neuroscience implications and the establishment of viral reservoirs in the central nervous system (CNS). Applications are invited for developing novel tools, technologies, or hypotheses that gain insights into how addictive substances affect HIV infection, latency, and pathogenesis. The maximum budget is $700,000 direct costs per year with a 5-year project period. Key requirements involve proposing studies relevant to addiction pathways, using specific biological systems, and including human or primate models. The application process emphasizes adherence to detailed guidelines and milestones for project tracking. The ultimate goal is to enhance understanding of HIV/SUD mechanisms to inform therapeutic approaches. The application deadline is July 14, 2024, and the program stresses the importance of early application due to strict no-late submission policies.
