Owing to decades of groundbreaking research, there is a robust toolkit of interventions documented to improve prevention, testing, and treatment outcomes for HIV. Identifying effective strategies to bring those tools to scale, for sustained and cost-effective impact, is a critical next step. To contribute to this needed evidence base, the California HIV/AIDS Research Program (CHRP) aims to support HIV implementation Science. Implementation science, in this context, refers to the study of strategies to incorporate evidence-based interventions or practices into existing systems of care or community programming. Applications proposing novel HIV prevention and treatment studies or ones operating outside of existing health systems or community programing will not be considered.
Goal of Award
- The goal of these awards is to support research that has the potential for the implementation lessons to be scalable for sustained impact on the HIV epidemic in California.
Prospective Applicant Webinar
- CHRP will hold a webinar on April 27, 2020 to provide an overview of the intent of the award and the application process. The webinar will also allow prospective applicants the opportunity to ask questions about the application and review process. Information on how to access the applicant webinar and the exact timing of the webinar will be posted on the CHRP website.
