    The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has issued a funding opportunity to investigate the neuro-immune axis relating to HIV and substance use under the R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed grant mechanism. The primary goal is to explore the interaction between neuroimmune systems and HIV, particularly in the context of substance use disorders (SUD). Researchers are invited to develop projects that aim to identify neuroimmune pathways, mechanisms involved, and potential therapeutic frameworks that could alleviate HIV-associated neurological issues exacerbated by substance misuse. The program encourages exploratory research with a budget of up to $275,000 over a two-year period, targeting innovative scientific approaches. Eligible applicants include diverse organizations and institutions, promoting involvement from underrepresented groups. The NOI emphasizes the need for comprehensive research addressing the challenges posed by the interplay of HIV and substances, and outlines specific criteria for application submission, eligibility, and scientific objectives. Applications will undergo rigorous peer review, and funding decisions will be guided by scientific merit, program relevance, and available resources. This initiative represents a strategic effort to advance understanding and treatment of comorbidities related to HIV and substance use.
