NOFO: Pharmacies and HIV: A New NIH Research Funding Opportunity

The purpose of the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit 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 this Request for Applications (RFA) have collectively set-aside funds in FY25 to support relevant, high priority research. The call reflects themes identified in the June 2023 NIH-sponsored meeting, “Pharmacy-Centered Research: Current Landscape and Future Frontiers.”
