The purpose of this initiative entitled “Highly Innovative Tactics to Interrupt Transmission of HIV (HIT-IT)” is to foster exceptionally innovative, high risk, original and/or unique and unconventional research that, if successful, will have an unusually high impact on HIV/AIDS prevention. Applicants to this FOA must articulate how their proposed new idea, approach and rationale: (1) offer a potential solution to interrupt HIV transmission and prevent acquisition, (2) could be unequivocally tested and potentially implemented, (3) differ from current or previous failed approaches, and (4) will contribute, inform, or provide incremental knowledge to the field regardless of the outcome of the proposed work.
