The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency — making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.
The grant aims to enhance the HIV/AIDS prevention toolkit for populations impacted by various patterns of alcohol use, by integrating effective prevention and treatment interventions. The focus is on conducting research to inform the planning of clinical trials that test the efficacy, safety, and implementation of interventions in preventing HIV. This includes facilitating cross-cutting informative research to reduce new infection incidences and supporting projects that will yield results significant enough to guide future trials without requiring additional studies, particularly in the realm of alcohol use and its intersection with HIV prevention.
