Research Project Grant (R01)
A funding mechanism to support a discrete, specified, circumscribed project to be performed by the named investigator(s) in an area representing their specific interest areas and competencies.

Purpose of Grant
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is intended to appeal to a broad audience of alcohol and HIV/AIDS researchers, including:

• alcohol researchers with no prior experience in HIV/AIDS research but with a keen appreciation for the relationship between problem drinking and HIV/AIDS and a strong interest in acquiring such experience.
  
  
• HIV/AIDS researchers with no prior alcohol research experience who realize the importance of more intensive alcohol interventions to improving clinical outcomes among HIV-infected individuals; and those with prior research experience in the area of co-occurring HIV/AIDS and alcohol and other substance abuse.

The primary objectives for this announcement are to increase research:

1. To characterise the relative importance of reducing alcohol misuse in the prevention of acquisition and transmission of HIV in order to identify and apply appropriate alcohol and HIV interventions as public health measures
   
   
2. To more fully understand and prevent the progression of HIV disease in the presence of continued alcohol exposure; and
   
   
3. To develop operational research frameworks for addressing the occurrence and persistence of infections in high-risk populations (e.g. minority women, young gay men, etc.), and translate findings into effective, culturally appropriate preventive and treatment interventions for these targeted populations.

Research Project Grant (R01)
A funding mechanism to support a discrete, specified, circumscribed project to be performed by the named investigator(s) in an area representing their specific interest areas and competencies.

Purpose of Grant
The purpose of this opportunity is to inform the scientific community of the pain research interests of the various Institutes and Centers (ICs) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and to stimulate and foster a wide range of basic, clinical, and translational studies on pain as they relate to the missions of these ICs. New advances are needed in every area of pain research, from the micro perspective of molecular sciences to the macro perspective of behavioural and social sciences. Although great strides have been made in some areas, such as the identification of neural pathways of pain, the experience of pain and the challenge of treatment have remained uniquely individual and unsolved.

The NHMRC TRIP Fellowship provides support for health care professionals (e.g. medical specialists, general practitioners, public health practitioners, physiotherapists, nurses, midwives, radiologists, and other allied health providers), health care personnel (health service managers, hospital department leaders, clinical trial managers) and policy makers to translate evidence into health care and public health improvements.

The Fellowship provides protected time for Fellows to develop the range of skills needed for leadership in research translation and to apply evidence to improve health care and/or public health. The TRIP Fellowship scheme is therefore aimed at developing early to mid-career applicants wishing to combine research translation with their career and is not designed to support applicants already established as health care leaders.
