BC Environmental and Occupational Health Research Network

The intent of this FOA is to stimulate collaborative research among foreign investigators from the same geographic regions to address regional issues on the intersection of HIV/AIDS and drug use in international settings. NIDA’s objective is to expand research capacity in resource limited areas where HIV associated with injection and /or non-injection drug use is an emerging or prevalent epidemic. This FOA seeks to foster international partnerships among researchers with expertise in epidemiology, the basic biomedical and clinical sciences, behavioral and social sciences, health services, treatment and prevention, or implementation science, with a focus on addressing regional issues. The overall goal of this FOA is to enhance availability of evidence-based biomedical and behavioral strategies which will improve public health approaches to the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS associated with drug use. This FOA seeks projects that address prevention and treatment research issues utilizing special collaborative opportunities, expertise, resources, populations or settings to address regionally-focused international issues.
