NIH HIV Research Funding Opportunity: Advancing HIV Service Delivery through Pharmacies and Pharmacists

Two newly published research funding opportunities from NIH are now available to support the advancement of HIV service delivery through pharmacies and pharmacists.

This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) solicits research designed to capacitate, transform, and scale the delivery of HIV testing, prevention, and care services through pharmacists and pharmacies in US and/or global settings. This includes the opportunity to advance training curricula that enables pharmacy students, pharmacists, pharmacies, and pharmacy systems to deliver the spectrum of needed HIV services with ease, equity, and effectiveness.

The NIH institutes and offices that are co-sponsoring the two requests for applications (RFAs) under the NOFO have collectively set aside funds in FY25 to support relevant, high priority research. These RFAs reflect themes identified in the June 2023 NIH-sponsored meeting, “Pharmacy-Centered Research: Current Landscape and Future Frontiers.”
