Heart, Lung, and Blood Co-morbiditieS Implementation Models in People Living with HIV (HLB SIMPLe) (UG3/UH3 - Clinical Trial Optional)

Funding Opportunity RFA-HL-20-025 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks grant applications to optimally and sustainably address late-stage implementation research questions to address the delivery of proven-effective prevention and treatment interventions for heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) comorbid diseases and disorders in people living with HIV (PLHIV) in World Bank designated low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). For the purposes of this FOA, late-stage implementation research is defined as research to identify strategies to achieve sustainable uptake of proven-effective interventions in routine clinical, public health, and community-based settings and maximize the positive impact on population health. Each awarded project is to conduct late-stage implementation research within one or more of the following geographical regions: East Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Central Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, Middle East and North Africa, South Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. As a group, awardees will constitute a collaborative alliance for HLBS late-stage (T4) implementation research on comorbid diseases and disorders in PLHIV in LMICs with capabilities for answering research questions (within and across regions) aimed at improving population health outcomes. This FOA is intended to support research that, while carried out in LMICs, results in outcomes that appl...
