    The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), has released a funding opportunity to support research on the role of inflammasomes in the context of HIV infection and substance use disorders (SUD). The aim is to explore the mechanisms of inflammasome activation and its impacts on neurocognitive disorders (NCD) and immune function among individuals affected by HIV and SUD. The R21 Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant will fund projects that clarify the involvement of inflammatory pathways, identify molecular markers, and assess the cellular environments affecting inflammasome activity. Applicants may submit research proposals focusing on the interaction of various addictive substances, such as opioids, nicotine, and others, with inflammasome signaling in the central nervous system. Proposals must comply with strict application guidelines and are due by February 13, 2024, with a total funding pool of $2,000,000 available for up to four awards over a two-year period. The initiatives signify a commitment to advancing scientific knowledge and improving clinical outcomes for people living with HIV and SUD through targeted research efforts.
