The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is offering the Minority HIV Research Initiative (MARI) grant. This grant supports promising epidemiologic, behavioral, and implementation science research focused on addressing health inequities in racial and ethnic minority communities disproportionately affected by HIV. A key objective is also to strengthen the capacity of historically underrepresented investigators working within these communities. This initiative aligns with CDC’s public health goals to reduce disease and disability, and it directly contributes to the federal Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States (EHE) by 2030 plan. The research funded will help advance strategies related to early diagnosis, effective treatment, prevention interventions like PrEP, and rapid response to potential HIV outbreaks.

| Description: | The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support promising epidemiologic, behavioral, and implementation science research addressing the drivers of health inequities in racial and ethnic minority communities disproportionately affected by HIV while strengthening the capacity for conducting such research among underrepresented investigators working in these communities. The NOFO supports CDC’s goals to promote health and reduce disease and disability by funding research that has the potential to result in high public health impact.The NOFO is aligned with the federal initiative for Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States (EHE) by 2030. The EHE plan encompasses the following four key strategies: (i) diagnose all individuals with HIV as early as possible; (ii) treat people with HIV rapidly and effectively to reach sustained viral suppression; (iii) prevent new HIV transmissions by using proven interventions, including PrEP and syringe services programs (SSPs); (iv) respond quickly to potential HIV outbreaks to get needed prevention and treatment services to people who need them. |
