BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT for Extramural Medical Research

The USAMRDC’s mission is to provide solutions to medical problems of importance to the American Service Member at home and abroad, as well as to the general public at large. The scope of this effort and the priorities attached to specific projects are influenced by changes in military and civilian medical science and technology (S&T), operational requirements, military threat assessments, and national defense strategies. Extramural research and development programs play a vital role in the fulfillment of the objectives established by the USAMRDC.

Catalyst Award for Early-Stage Investigators (ESIs) Pursuing Research on HIV Comorbidities, Coinfections, and Complications (DP1- Clinical Trial Optional)

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports research from creative early stage investigators who propose highly innovative, pioneering studies with potential to open new areas of HIV/AIDS related to coinfections, comorbidities, and complications. Projects should reflect new and novel scientific directions that are distinct from concepts and approaches being pursued in the investigators research program or elsewhere. Projects must be consistent the scientific priorities outlined by the NIH Office of AIDS Research (OAR).

NIDA REI: Reaching Equity at the Intersection of HIV and Substance Use: Novel Approaches to Address HIV Related Health Disparities in Underserved Racial/Ethnic Populations

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is a part of NIDAs Racial Equity Initiative (REI), a multi-year, multi-pronged effort to eliminate racial inequities in NIDAs workplace, scientific workforce, and research portfolio. The purpose of this initiative is to support pilot or feasibility research on structural factors, organizational practices, policies, and other social, cultural, and contextual influences that lead to inequities at the intersection of HIV and substance use among underserved racial/ethnic populations affected by persistent HIV disparities.

Next Generation Multipurpose Prevention Technologies

The objective of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support the continued development of new and innovative on-demand, event-driven, and long-acting (systemic and non-systemic) multipurpose prevention technologies (MPTs). It supports development of MPTs that prevent HIV infection and pregnancy (hormonal and non-hormonal methods); sexually transmitted infections (STI) and pregnancy; or multiple non-HIV STI or HIV/STI MPTs in cis and trans males and females of all ages.

MMWR: Trends in Tuberculosis – United States, 2012

This report summarizes provisional TB surveillance data reported to CDC’s National Tuberculosis Surveillance System in 2012. A total of 9,951 new TB cases were reported for an incidence of 3.2 cases per 100,000 population, which is a decrease of 6.1 percent from the incidence in 2011. TB incidence rate among foreign-born persons in the United States was 11.5 times as high as in US-born persons. Also, racial/ethnic disparities in TB incidence persist with TB rates among non-Hispanic Asians, Hispanics, and non-Hispanic blacks were 25.0, 6.6, and 7.3 times as high respectively.
