========================================================

Fund Title: Research on HIV/STD Prevention Messages

Fund Number: PA-01-139

Funder Name: US Department of Health and Human Services

Public Health Service. National Institutes of Health

Fund Description: The National Institute of Child Health and Human

Development (NICHD), the National Institute of Nursing Research

(NINR), the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and the

National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) invite qualified researchers

to submit applications to study the creation, dissemination, and

consumption of messages created to deter the spread of HIV. Well into

this, the third decade of HIV/AIDS, prevention messages designed and

presented through mainstream media have had limited success in

deterring the spread of the disease in many populations,

both in the US and in other nations. This announcement invites

research that will improve our understanding of how communication can

best facilitate HIV prevention efforts. It encourages studies that

examine the interrelationships among various attributes of

communication about HIV risk and prevention, and the consequences of

communication for individuals,groups, and populations. It also seeks

research that examines how people consume, understand, retain, and

use or act upon information about HIV risk and prevention.
