    The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued a funding opportunity announcement for "Multidisciplinary Studies of HIV/AIDS and Aging" through the R21 Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant program. With rising numbers of older adults living with HIV, the initiative aims to encourage research that explores the biological, clinical, and socio-behavioral aspects of aging in the context of HIV infection. The application is open to various organizations, including higher education institutions and nonprofits, and seeks innovative projects that either propose or do not propose clinical trials. The funding opportunity specifically targets studies that improve understanding of aging-related phenomena in HIV-infected populations and enhances approaches in testing, prevention, and treatment of HIV-related comorbidities. Key dates, application guidelines, and eligibility requirements are outlined, with applications due on April 4, 2024, and various potential review cycles thereafter. This NOFO aligns with NIH’s Office of AIDS Research priorities and emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in addressing the complexities of aging adults with HIV. Proposed projects should leverage existing NIH resources, focus on geriatric outcomes, and provide robust justification for the methodologies employed. The maximum budget is capped at $275,000 over two years, supporting the NIH’s commitment to addressing the intersecting challenges posed by HIV and aging.
