This grant, offered by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), encourages applications for the Mucosal Environment and HIV Prevention (MEHP) program. It aims to support innovative proof-of-concept and feasibility research in non-vaccine biomedical prevention (nBP), specifically for safer and more effective microbicides, Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), and Multipurpose Prevention Technologies (MPT). The focus is on understanding how prevention candidates interact with the micro- and macro-environments of the genital (male and female) and gastrointestinal mucosa. Key underserved areas addressed include the microbiome’s role in HIV transmission and candidate safety, tissue responses to prevention agents, and the effect of genital secretions and hormones on susceptibility to HIV infection.
