The Public Health Department is offering a grant to support research projects focusing on preventing HIV, HCV, and associated comorbidities in rural US communities affected by opioid injection epidemics. Projects should aim to develop and implement comprehensive strategies to combat opioid-related infections and overdose among people who inject drugs. The goal is to identify effective community response models and best practices that can be replicated in similar rural areas to enhance public health systems’ ability to address these critical health issues.

| Description: | This FOA will support biphasic (i.e., two stage, multi-method) research projects that inform community response and promote comprehensive, integrated approaches to prevent HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, along with associated comorbidities such as hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), among people who inject drugs (PWID) in rural US communities. Opioid injection and its consequences (e.g., HIV, HCV, HBV, STDs and overdose) are the primary foci here. These projects should yield evidence of the effectiveness of community response models and best practices in responding to opioid injection epidemics that can be implemented by public health systems in similar rural communities in the US. |
