The goal of the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) is to develop a diverse pool of highly trained clinician-scientist leaders available to meet the Nation’s biomedical research needs. Specifically, this fundingopportunity announcement (FOA) provides support to eligible domestic institutions to develop and implement effective, evidence-informed approaches to integrated dual-degree training leading to the award of both clinical degrees, e.g., M.D., D.O., D.V.M., D.D.S., Pharm.D., and research doctorate degrees (Ph.D.). With the dual qualification of rigorous scientific research and clinical practice, graduates will be equipped with the skills to develop research programs that accelerate the translation of research advances to the understanding, detection, treatment and prevention of human disease, and to lead the advancement of biomedical research. Areas of particular importance to NIGMS are the iterative optimization of MSTP training efficacy and efficiency, fostering the persistence of MSTP alumni in research careers, and enhancing the diversity of the clinician-scientist workforce. NIGMS expects that the proposed research training programs will incorporate didactic, research, mentoring and career development elements to prepare trainees for careers that will have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the Nation.

The purpose of this NOFO is to support comparative effectiveness trials to investigate the feasibility, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of telehealth-based interventions to detect and manage glaucoma among high-risk populations. This NOFO aims to support the study of replicable and scalable interventions that use real-world, payer-provider reimbursement structures within community-based, health care delivery settings in various regions of the United States. Outcomes should be relevant to clinical practice, public health, community implementation, and policy. This NOFO also supports the cost-effectiveness analyses of proposed interventions. The resulting data will assist policymakers, clinicians, and patients make informed decisions to reduce the burden of glaucoma and improve the quality of life for millions of people.

This NOFO will be accomplished through two components, Component A: Comparative effectiveness trials among high-risk populations within community-based settings, and Component B: a coordinating center to provide scientific and logistical support to Component A studies. 

Component A: Number of Awards: four (4); Estimated Funding: $2,750,000

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is designed to understand the feasibility and acceptability of providing long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI-ART) to incarcerated persons with HIV who are soon to be released from state prison facilities. The ultimate goal is to support the development and implementation of effective, sustainable, replicable LAI-ART programs. People with HIV living in prison facilities are often released to the community lacking support for ongoing HIV care. There is a paucity of programs for this population demonstrating effectiveness with retention in care and maintaining sustained HIV viral suppression after release. The use of LAI-ART prior to and at the time of release from prison may improve adherence to HIV treatment, retention in care, and maintenance of viral load suppression among persons reentering the community. Applied qualitative and quantitative research resulting from this funding is expected to strengthen adherence to ART and is aligned with the HIV National Strategic Plan (2022-2025) and the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. (EHE) initiative “Treat” Pillar.
