Halting TB Transmission in HIV-Endemic and Other High-Transmission Settings (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The objectives of this Funding Opportunity Announcement are to promote research to: 1) understand the critical drivers of TB transmission at the individual and population levels in high-burden settings, particularly where high incidence of HIV co-infection contributes to TB rates. (This may include the aerobiology of infectious particles and environmental- and population-based factors.) 2) develop potential interventions to prevent TB transmission in HIV-endemic and other high-transmission settings and to measure the rate of transmission underpinned by an increased understanding of the biomedical basis of transmission and related risk factors.
