Full Request for Proposal
Overview

Funder seeks to support research that looks at:

Implementation of Integrated HIV & Hepatitis Care Models

  • What are the real-world outcomes of implementing viral hepatitis (HBV, HCV, HDV) screening and treatment to existing HIV care and prevention care in community-based or non-traditional settings (e.g. harm reduction programs, correctional facilities, MOUD1 clinics) and how can these models be scaled and sustained? 
  • What are the facilitators of implementing and scaling successful test-and-treat models of care across HIV and viral hepatitis to other settings?
  • How can technology and telehealth be leveraged to improve linkage to care for individuals in underserved (e.g., rural communities, American Indian/Alaska Native populations) areas? Does gender influence access or engagement?

Addressing Social & Structural Barriers to Care

  • Assess the feasibility and impact of implementing shared decision-making models used for HIV for those people living with viral hepatitis.
  • What interventions can be implemented that address barriers to access, engagement, and retention in viral hepatitis and HIV care for women, people who inject drugs, sex workers, people with mental health conditions, unhoused individuals, and other underserved populations, and how can these be effectively addressed?
  • What gender-specific and culturally appropriate models of care improve screening, diagnosis, engagement, and linkage to care, including treatment and/or prevention services for HIV (e.g.,pre-exposure prophylaxis or PrEP) and viral hepatitis? 

Important Information

This opportunity represents the merging of two previous initiatives from the funder – GATHER, which focused on integrating viral hepatitis and HIV care, and LISTEN, which aimed to advance gender-equitable healthcare strategies for viral hepatitis.

Funder says grant amount is commensurate with project scope, and includes 30% of indirect costs.
