Fund Number: 2437 
Fund Title:
Community Education and Outreach Partnership Program (CEOPP) 

Fund Category:
HIV/AIDS 

Description:
Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide, with support from the National 
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases' (NIAID), is soliciting 
applications for its Community Education and Outreach Partnership 
Program (CEOPP). This effort is part of NIAID's national HIV Vaccine 
Communications Campaign. Through a competitive review process, partners 
will be selected to conduct a series of HIV prevention vaccine awareness 
activities. This one time funding aims to create a supportive 
environment for HIV vaccine research by increasing the capacity of non-
profit organizations to stress the importance of HIV vaccine research to 
those communities they serve. Of particular interest are those hard-to-
reach communities, specifically Blacks/African Americans, 
Hispanics/Latinos, and Men who have Sex with Men where the greatest 
misinformation, misperception, and misconception about HIV vaccines 
exist.

Fund Number: 2438 
Fund Title:
Incidence of Needlestick and Sharps Injuries and Medical Safety Device 
Availability/Use Among Non-Hospital Health Care Workers 

Fund Category:
HIV/AIDS 

Description:
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), invites grant 
applications for studies that will contribute to the understanding of 
the risks of exposure to blood among health care workers employed in 
home health care settings. Such information will contribute 
significantly to an understanding not only of the risk for such 
exposures, but the development of effective intervention strategies. 
Because little is known about the incidence of blood exposures in home 
health care workers, this RFA has an emphasis on research that examines 
the incidence of exposures to blood, risk factors associated with such 
exposures, and the availability and use of medical safety devices. A 
special feature of this RFA is encouraging applications from researchers 
and from membership organizations comprised of health care workers, such 
as unions and professional organizations, and collaboration among these 
groups. NIOSH has set a goal to describe the occurrence of exposure to 
blood among home health care workers in order to subsequently identify 
appropriate interventions to reduce the future incidence of exposure to 
blood-borne pathogens. This RFA is the first step toward accomplishing 
this goal.

Fund Number: 2439 
Fund Title:
HIV/AIDS, Severe Mental Illness and Homelessness 

Fund Category:
HIV/AIDS 

Description:
The overall focus of this Program Announcement (PA), sponsored by the 
NIMH, NIAAA and NIDA, is to refocus research on persons with severe 
mental illness (SMI), either before or after HIV infection, and to 
expand HIV-related research to homeless persons. This PA solicits 
studies on the SMI population and/or homeless persons with special 
attention to the development, implementation, and evaluation of 
effective HIV-prevention interventions and their dissemination and 
translation to the community and public health service organizations. We 
also solicit studies on the SMI population and/or homeless persons that 
propose improved methodologies to study descriptive/analytic 
epidemiology of HIV infection and epidemiology of the behavior 
associated with risk and the spread of HIV infection. An important 
objective of this PA is to encourage integration both across and within 
the different research areas by establishing multidisciplinary research 
teams and collaborative alliances. Areas of research interest include: 
(1) Epidemiology, Risk, and Protective Factors; (2) Comorbidities and 
Complications; (3) Multilevel Prevention and Treatment Services; and (4) 
Technology Transfer and Information Dissemination.

Fund Number: 2441 
Fund Title:
Phase III Clinical Trials in Oral Infectious Diseases 

Fund Category:
Other Health-Related 

Description:
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) 
encourages submission of investigator-initiated grant applications for 
Phase III clinical trials to assess the efficacy and safety of 
preventive or therapeutic interventions for oral infectious diseases. 
Such interventions should have high potential for translation into 
clinical practice and for improving the oral health status of all 
Americans. NIDCR's prior support for basic and clinical research has 
shown that dental caries, periodontal diseases, and many other oral 
diseases involve infectious processes that result from the interplay of 
infectious agents, environmental influences (e.g., diet), genetic 
factors, and host response. This initiative seeks to accelerate the 
translation of such findings into well-documented, cost-effective 
interventions of proven efficacy for preventing and treating oral 
infectious diseases. Clinical trials focusing on the periodontal 
diseases and dental caries are particularly encouraged given the 
uniquely prominent role that these disorders have in the delivery and 
cost of oral health care as well as their widespread prevalence in the 
population. However, clinical trials involving other oral conditions 
with an infectious cause - bacterial, viral, or fungal - will also be 
considered responsive to this PA. Applications that address novel 
interventions, higher risk population groups with oral health care 
disparities, research gaps, and common pathologic mechanisms are 
particularly encouraged. Clinical trials focusing on the prevention or 
treatment of oral manifestations or complications of infections caused 
by herpes viruses, human papilloma virus, Human Immunodeficiency Virus 
(HIV), enteroviruses or other human viruses; and Clinical trials on 
interventions for managing and treating mucosal infections in patients 
with AIDS or immune dysfunction secondary to cancer therapy will be both 
included in the scope area of this PA.
