National Institutes of HealthFunding availableOct 1, 2026

Check: NIH has forecast a research funding opportunity for HIV prevention and alcohol-related work, with tribal governments other than federally recognized ones listed as eligible applicants and no (money reserved for a group) stated.

What it does

Tribal governments that are not federally recognized are among the eligible applicants for this NIH forecast, which covers a two-phase award (a development phase, R61, followed by an expanded testing phase, R33) for HIV prevention interventions, with clinical trials optional. The forecast gives an estimated post date of 2027-07-07 and an estimated application due date of 2027-09-07 for fiscal year 2028, so any work toward it would fall well ahead of those dates.
