Opportunity Information: Apply for PA 17 262
Promoting NICHD Areas of Research for HIV/AIDS in Maternal and Child Health (R01) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA 17-262) designed to spur new and expanded research on HIV/AIDS as it affects maternal and child health. The announcement is led by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), specifically highlighting priorities from NICHDs Maternal and Pediatric Infectious Disease Branch (MPIDB) in coordination with the NIH Office of AIDS Research (OAR). The central aim is to encourage investigator-initiated R01 projects that directly address scientific areas that are of primary interest to these NICHD and OAR programs, with the FOA emphasizing that it lays out the institutes interests over a defined three-year horizon.
The focus is on HIV/AIDS research that is relevant to women, pregnant people, infants, children, and adolescents, reflecting NICHDs maternal and pediatric mission space. While the summary text provided does not list specific topic areas, it makes clear that applications are expected to align with MPIDB and OAR priority research directions in HIV/AIDS within maternal and child health. In practice, that typically means projects that improve understanding, prevention, diagnosis, or management of HIV in these populations, or that address mechanisms and outcomes of infection and interventions during pregnancy and early life, as well as pediatric or adolescent considerations. The emphasis on stimulating research suggests the program is intended to broaden the evidence base and strengthen the pipeline of studies that can translate into better health outcomes for mothers and children affected by or at risk for HIV.
This opportunity uses the NIH R01 mechanism, meaning it supports well-developed, hypothesis-driven or strongly justified research programs of significant scope, usually involving multi-year work plans, rigorous study designs, and clear milestones. The funding instrument is a grant, and the funding activity category is listed under Health, Income Security and Social Services, with CFDA number 93.865. The award ceiling is not specified in the provided source data, and the number of expected awards is also not listed, which is common in NIH FOAs where actual award counts depend on appropriations, application volume, and scientific merit.
Eligibility is intentionally broad, reflecting NIHs interest in drawing in strong ideas and capable teams from many sectors. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and a wide range of nonprofit organizations, both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories as stated). For-profit organizations other than small businesses are eligible, as are small businesses and other entities. The FOA also explicitly calls out additional eligible applicant types that NIH often highlights to encourage participation by a diverse set of institutions and community-based partners, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). It further includes faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities, meaning foreign organizations can apply when appropriate to the research.
Key administrative details from the source information include a creation date of April 25, 2017, and an original closing date of September 7, 2020. The closing date indicates the opportunity, as originally posted, had a defined submission window ending in 2020, though NIH opportunities sometimes have reissues or successor announcements; anyone looking to apply would normally confirm whether a current version is active and whether the institute has updated priorities or receipt dates.
Overall, this FOA is best understood as a targeted NIH R01 call meant to concentrate research effort on HIV/AIDS questions that matter most to NICHDs maternal and pediatric infectious disease portfolio and the broader NIH AIDS research agenda. It invites proposals from a wide array of domestic and international organizations and encourages participation from institutions serving historically underrepresented communities, with the goal of advancing rigorous, impactful science in HIV/AIDS as it relates to maternal and child health.Apply for PA 17 262
