EHE Scientific Priorities for FY23:

  • Syndemic Approaches to HIV Prevention, Treatment or Care
    Objective: Using syndemic theory and approaches to (a) increase focus on intersecting diseases and social conditions that exacerbate health inequities, and (b) enhance the evidence base for effective successful approaches to assess, monitor, and intervene with respect to these intersections for optimal outcomes in HIV prevention or treatment.
  • Leveraging Pharmacies to Advance HIV Testing, Prevention, and Care
    Objective: This topic will support research projects designed to further capacitate, field, and scale the routine delivery of HIV testing, prevention, and care services through pharmacists and pharmacy settings in the U.S.
  • Strategies to Improve Linkage to HIV Care and Services Post-Incarceration
    Objective: Improving linkage and connection to mental health, substance use, social services, housing, job services, HIV care, and any other community resources post-incarceration. The goals are to optimize timely linkage to HIV care, retention, and viral suppression among people living with HIV (PLWH) re-entering their communities.
