Prevention and Treatment through a Comprehensive Care Continuum for HIV-affected Adolescents in Resource-Constrained Settings--Implementation Science Network (PATC3H-IN)

This NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks implementation‑science research proposals that develop and test scalable, low‑resource HIV prevention and treatment models for adolescents in resource‑constrained settings worldwide, with the goal of translating successful strategies to U.S. populations. The network (PATC3H‑IN) will fund a Clinical Research Center and a Data and Coordinating Center to conduct multi‑site studies, evaluate implementation strategies, and generate evidence to inform the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative. Applicants may include a broad range of public, private, nonprofit, tribal, and international entities. The award is forecast to be announced in July 2028, with project start the same month. Funding is provided as a grant under the Eunice Kennedy Shriver NICHD authority. • Focus: Adolescent HIV prevention and treatment implementation science in low‑ and middle‑income countries. • Funding mechanism: NIH Grant (RFA) – likely multi‑year award. • Eligible applicants: State, local, tribal, nonprofit, for‑profit, academic, and foreign institutions. • Estimated submission deadline: 28 Oct 2027; award expected 1 Jul 2028. • Expected deliverables: Scalable care models, implementation‑strategy evaluations, data coordination, and translation plans for U.S. settings. • Contact: MPIDB, NICHD (email provided).
