PURPOSE: This initiative will fund three components: a capacity-building provider (HRSA-22-027), demonstration sites (HRSA-22-028), and an evaluation provider (HRSA-22-029). All three components of the initiative will work together using the HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) implementation science framework (HAB IS). The purpose of this funding opportunity (HRSA-22-029) is to support one evaluation provider to develop and carry out a multi-site evaluation that includes a customized site specific evaluation for each of the 10 demonstration sites (HRSA-22-028) that will identify, refine, and implement emerging strategies to comprehensively screen and manage comorbidities, geriatric conditions, behavioral health, and psychosocial needs of people 50 years and older with HIV, within the existing resources and infrastructure of organizations funded through the RWHAP. The evaluation provider will establish and implement an evaluation design that analyzes the uptake, implementation, cost, and associated client outcomes of the emerging strategies at the demonstration sites. In addition to the site-specific components, the evaluation will include cross-site components that are consistent across the demonstration sites. Throughout this initiative, the evaluation provider will work closely with the demonstration sites (HRSA-22-028) and the capacity-building provider (HRSA-22-027). The capacity-building provider will lead and implement the dissemination plan, which will include the evaluation findings produced by the evaluation provider.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: Letters of Intent: Dec. 10, 2021. Select applicants will be invited to submit a formal proposal by March 11, 2022.
$ AVAILABLE: The Misophonia Research Fund intends to award five to ten misophonia research grants in 2022. Each grant will provide up to $200,000 in total funding per year for up to two years for a maximum, aggregate total of $400,000. 
ELIGIBILITY: To be considered for a grant, applicant organizations must be a domestic or non-U.S. nonprofit academic or research institution (including colleges, universities, medical schools and other related academic research institutions) or a qualified government agency with an active biomedical research program. All proposed research projects must be led by a principal investigator (PI) who holds a doctorate (e.g., Ph.D., M.D., Psy.D., Au.D.) or related research doctorate degree. PIs must be either an independent investigator or a postdoctoral fellow. PIs must be selected by and identified by the applicant organization.
PURPOSE: Misophonia is a condition where individuals experience strong negative emotions in response to specific sensory stimuli such as the sounds of a person chewing. Some studies have found that as many as one in five individuals report strong feelings of disgust, rage, or anxiety in response to specific sounds. Many of those suffering from misophonia report being unable to participate in important activities such as attending school or participating in family gatherings. The field sits at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, and audiology and the program hopes to attract novel proposals across these fields. Proposals must address one or more of the following three broad areas in human, animal, or relevant research models: 1) research focused on characterizing misophonia, including exploring its underlying mechanisms, expression, natural history, or development; 2) development or validation of physiological and/or
behavioral methods (i.e., objective assessments) to assess misophonia.; 3) development or evaluation of interventions for misophonia, including novel treatment approaches (e.g. pharmacotherapy; multidisciplinary treatment approaches; digital health platforms) and controlled comparative efficacy trials of promising treatments.
