Section VIII. Other Information
The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) was initiated 10 years ago and quickly rolled out HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment programs as an emergency response to the devastating epidemic in resource-limited countries. Following the rapid scale-up, PEPFAR programs are steadily moving from the provision of emergency services to assisting in the development of sustainable programs to prevent and treat HIV and related illnesses and which can be integrated into public health systems. Implementation science research is needed to inform approaches and investments for public health programming and policy making and to ultimately increase the chances of reversing the global AIDS epidemic.
Implementation science is a relatively new, interdisciplinary area of health care research which focuses on the application of interventions that have already been proven as efficacious in controlled conditions, and includes investigations in the acceptability, coverage, and fidelity of services; service delivery systems, barriers to service delivery and strategies to overcome these barriers; cost-effectiveness outcomes and impact on health systems and/or the community. The aim of this type of research is to provide evidence based approaches to health care delivery and to improve the benefits and sustainability of health-related programs.
A rigorous implementation science research agenda is needed for PEPFAR to understand the effectiveness of combinations of proven prevention interventions brought to scale; to improve many aspects of program delivery; to determine the effects of integrating HIV care into primary care programs; and to increase the public health impact of proven HIV/AIDS modalities in prevention, treatment, and care.
The intent of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage implementation science research of relevance to PEPFAR programs that will focus on the multiple challenges being encountered by many programs in resource-limited countries when they attempt to deploy effective prevention, treatment, and integrated interventions against HIV/AIDS. Studies should reflect the needs and priorities of the countries or regions in which they are to be conducted, but also produce results that are quantifiable and applicable to diverse circumstances and geographic areas. Another objective is to incorporate capacity building and/or local investigators in the proposed work.
Projects will be awarded that apply accepted implementation science methodology while building in-country research capacity and that focus on one or more of the specific areas of research detailed in this notice. Current grantees are encouraged to develop partnerships with local researchers and researchers from other disciplines that can best address the research question. Collaborations are encouraged and may combine expertise in anthropology, business and public administration, clinical decision-making, data management, economics, epidemiology and statistical methods, individual and systems-level behavioral change, information science, learning theory, engineering, marketing and/or organizational and management theory. Due to the limited time frame, secondary analyses of existing data sets or pilot projects of innovative approaches are also encouraged.
The specific research areas below were developed through discussions with PEPFAR field staff, United States Government agency headquarters staff involved in PEPFAR programming, the PEPFAR Scientific Advisory Board, the NIH and the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC).
I. Implementation Science for Treatment Programs:
II. Metrics for Quality of Care
III. Identification/Diagnosis and/or Prevention of Tuberculosis (TB) Disease
IV. Linkage of non-HIV services with HIV care
V. Focus on Key Affected Populations (KAP) (FY 2014 PEPFAR Technical Considerations note that Key Populations are persons who are affected by punitive laws, regulations and policies, stigmatized and marginalized, and disproportionately affected by HIV. This includes men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender persons [TG], people who inject drugs [PWID], and sex workers [SWs]):
VI. Focus on Adolescents
VII. Training and Health Systems:
VIII. Mother-to-Child Transmission and Maternal Health:
The proposed research must fall within the scope of work of the parent grant and, once awarded, will be managed according to the rules and regulations of the NIH institute through which the project is funded. The application may not include initiation of a new research site for this study.
Funding Instrument |
The funding instrument will be the same as the parent award. Grant: A support mechanism providing money, property, or both to an eligible entity to carry out an approved project or activity. Cooperative Agreement: A support mechanism used when there will be substantial Federal scientific or programmatic involvement. Substantial involvement means that, after award, NIH scientific or program staff will assist, guide, coordinate, or participate in project activities. |
Application Types Allowed |
Non-competing Administrative Supplements |
Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards |
The Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator, through NIH, intends to commit a total of $7 million in FY14 to fund approximately 14-20 awards. This will be divided into two categories: $5 million for awards addressing the topic areas in category I-VII above, the remaining $2 million is designated specifically for PMTCT projects addressing the topic areas in category VIII above. |
Award Budget |
Application budgets are limited to no more than $500,000 total costs (Direct and Indirect), and must reflect the actual needs of the proposed project. Note that ICs may further limit application budgets for specific activity codes or programs and applicants should contact the Program Contact listed in this announcement for their awarding IC. The funding mechanism being used to support this program, administrative supplements, can be used to cover cost increases that are associated with achieving certain new research objectives, as long as the research objectives are within the original scope of the project, or the cost increases are for unanticipated expenses within the original scope of the project. Any cost increases need to result from making modifications to the project that would increase or preserve the overall impact of the project consistent with its originally approved objectives and purposes. |
Award Project Period |
The project and budget periods must be within the currently approved project period for the existing parent award and may not exceed 12 months. |
NIH grants policies as described in the NIH Grants Policy Statement will apply to the applications submitted and awards made in response to this FOA.

The staff of the NIH awarding component will evaluate requests for a supplement to determine its overall merit. The following general criteria will be used:
Budget and Period of Support
NIH Staff will consider whether the budget and the requested period of support are fully justified and reasonable in relation to the proposed research.
Overall Impact
Funding will be based on the applicant's responsiveness to the aims of this announcement, the ability to incorporate capacity building and/or local investigators in the proposed work, the scientific strengths of the proposal and generalizability of results across PEPFAR programs, and the ability and quality of the proposed supplement activities to address the priority research questions identified in this announcement within the scope of the parent award.
The criteria below will be used as applicable to the Administrative Supplements proposed:
Supplements to research awards or research centers:
Supplements to fellowship awards:
Supplements to career development awards:
Supplements to institutional training (and institutional career development) awards:
Supplements to shared instrumentation or resource awards:
In addition, each of the following criteria will be evaluated as applicable for the proposed supplement.
Protections for Human Subjects
For research that involves human subjects but does
not involve one of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR
Part 46, NIH staff will evaluate the justification for involvement of human
subjects and the proposed protections from research risk relating to their participation
according to the following five review criteria: 1) risk to subjects, 2)
adequacy of protection against risks, 3) potential benefits to the subjects and
others, 4) importance of the knowledge to be gained, and 5) data and safety
monitoring for clinical trials.
For research that involves human subjects and meets the criteria for one or
more of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR Part 46, NIH
staff will evaluate: 1) the justification for the exemption, 2) human subjects
involvement and characteristics, and 3) sources of materials. For additional
information on review of the Human Subjects section, please refer to the Guidelines
for the Review of Human Subjects.
Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Children
When the proposed project involves human subjects and/or NIH-defined clinical research, the committee will evaluate the proposed plans for the inclusion (or exclusion) of individuals on the basis of sex/gender, race, and ethnicity, as well as the inclusion (or exclusion) of children to determine if it is justified in terms of the scientific goals and research strategy proposed. For additional information on review of the Inclusion section, please refer to the Guidelines for the Review of Inclusion in Clinical Research.
Vertebrate Animals
NIH Staff will evaluate the involvement of live vertebrate animals as part of the scientific assessment according to the following five points: 1) proposed use of the animals, and species, strains, ages, sex, and numbers to be used; 2) justifications for the use of animals and for the appropriateness of the species and numbers proposed; 3) adequacy of veterinary care; 4) procedures for limiting discomfort, distress, pain and injury to that which is unavoidable in the conduct of scientifically sound research including the use of analgesic, anesthetic, and tranquilizing drugs and/or comfortable restraining devices; and 5) methods of euthanasia and reason for selection if not consistent with the AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia. For additional information on review of the Vertebrate Animals section, please refer to the Worksheet for Review of the Vertebrate Animal Section.
Biohazards
NIH Staff will assess whether materials or procedures proposed are potentially hazardous to research personnel and/or the environment, and if needed, determine whether adequate protection is proposed.
Administrative supplement requests will undergo an
administrative evaluation by NIH staff, but not a full peer review. Applications
submitted for this funding opportunity will be assigned to the awarding
component for the parent award and will be administratively evaluated using the
criteria shown above.
Not Applicable
A formal notification in the form of a Notice of Award (NoA)
will be provided to the applicant organization for successful applications.
This may be as an NoA for the supplemental activities only; alternatively, it
may be as either a revision to the current year NoA or included as part of a
future year NoA. The NoA signed by the grants management officer is the
authorizing document and will be sent via email to the grantee’s business
official.
Awardees must comply with any funding restrictions described in Section IV.5. Funding Restrictions. Selection
of an application for award is not an authorization to begin performance. Any
costs incurred before receipt of the NoA are at the recipient's risk. These
costs may be reimbursed only to the extent considered allowable pre-award costs.

In most non-competing continuation applications, the progress report and budget for the supplement must be included with, but clearly delineated from, the progress report and budget for the parent award. The progress report must include information about the activities supported by the supplement even if support for future years is not requested. Continuation of support for the supplement activities in the remaining years of the competitive segment of the grant will depend upon satisfactory review by the NIH awarding component of progress for both the parent award and the supplement project, the research proposed for the next budget period, and the appropriateness of the proposed budget for the proposed effort. This information is submitted with the Non-Competing Grant Progress Report, PHS 2590 or RPPR, and financial statements as required in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.
The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Transparency Act), includes a requirement for awardees of Federal grants to report information about first-tier subawards and executive compensation under Federal assistance awards issued in FY2011 or later. All awardees of applicable NIH grants and cooperative agreements are required to report to the Federal Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) available at www.fsrs.gov on all subawards over $25,000. See the NIH Grants Policy Statement for additional information on this reporting requirement.
We encourage inquiries concerning this funding opportunity and welcome the opportunity to answer questions from potential applicants.
