Support Services for the Prevention and Treatment through a Comprehensive Care Continuum for HIV-affected Adolescents in Resource Constrained Settings Implementation Science Network (PATC3H-IN) (UG1/UM2) Program The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) requires support for logistical and operational coordination, website and communication management, analytic and data management, infrastructure for emerging research, regulatory, and monitoring of research activities for the Prevention and Treatment through a Comprehensive Care Continuum for HIV-affected Adolescents in Resource Constrained Settings Implementation Science Network (PATC3H-IN) (UG1/UM2) Program. The NICHD and partner NIH Institutes anticipate funding 8 PATC3H-IN UG1 awards in Asia and throughout sub-Saharan Africa in 2023 through a cooperative agreement mechanism for interventions of high public health significance: The prevention of new HIV infections among adolescents at risk, and the identification of, linkage to and retention in care of, and long-term viral suppression among youth living with HIV in low-to-middle income countries with high HIV burden. The PATC3H-IN network will expand and/or improve on successes achieved by its predecessor, PATC3H, to new geographic settings and/or risk populations and stimulate much needed implementation science (IS) research in the prevention of new HIV infections among adolescents at risk and the identification of, and linkage and retention to care of and long-term viral suppression among youth living with HIV in low-to-middle income countries (LMICs). PATC3H-IN will establish a network of investigators with multidisciplinary expertise on the youth-specific PHCC and in IS research, whose mission will be to evaluate promising prevention innovations contextually and developmentally tailored for HIV uninfected at-risk youth, and treatment and care interventions for youth living with HIV which have demonstrated efficacy and/or effectiveness in adolescent or adult populations and to translate them into public health practices. The structure of PATC3H-IN will consist of multiple interdependent functional components: (1) Five Clinical Research Centers (CRC) awarded through the UG1 grant mechanism; (2) one Implementation Science Coordinating Center (ISCC) to be awarded through a UM2 grant mechanism in 2024; and (3) a Scientific Leadership Committee (SLC). The CRCs will conduct clinical research and clinical trials, including implementation, effectiveness, and hybrid implementation-effectiveness studies at their 8-or more participating Clinical Research Performance Sites (CRPS). The ISCC will establish infrastructure to support research education and capacity building across PATC3H-IN, as well as infrastructure for stakeholder engagement in and dissemination of findings from PATC3H-IN and advanced statistical modeling support across PATC3H-IN. The ISCC will also provide infrastructure for conducting f...
