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.

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.
