Research Enhancement Office

CHRP's mission is to support scientists in California to develop, evaluate, and disseminate innovative research focused on (a) eliminating new HIV infections, (b) optimizing treatment uptake and outcomes for all persons living with HIV, and (c) addressing the comorbidities and social determinants that threaten the health and well-being of persons at risk for or living with HIV. 

Across every aspect of work, the California HIV/AIDS Research Program (CHRP) seeks to fund high-risk, high-reward, high-rigor research projects that aim to substantially and rapidly advance HIV epidemic control and/or treatment, and which address research priorities and gaps not supported by other funders. Further, CHRP is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion as a means of increasing the effectiveness of its grantmaking and generating new knowledge that benefits all Californians. 

CHRP is pleased to announce funding opportunities for 2024: 

• Low Barrier Technology Interventions for HIV Prevention and Care
  • With this Request for Proposals (RFP), CHRP seeks to fund formative research (e.g., exploratory research, feasibility assessments, capacity building) toward investigating the novel use of technology-based (ex: vending machines, geolocation of pop-up clinics) low-barrier interventions or expansion of such interventions into under resourced communities.
• Economic Justice Interventions to Combat HIV and HIV Syndemic Factors in California 
  • With this RFP, CHRP seeks to fund research that will establish the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of economic justice interventions on HIV-specific health outcomes for economically marginalized persons living with HIV in California.
