We are deeply saddened to inform you that funding for the MIC-DROP research study has been terminated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Due to a lack of resources moving forward, we are forced to pause all study procedures as we have no way to pay study staff, labs, and incentives.
We sincerely appreciate your participation in this study. We will leverage the data provided by your study participation to advance the science regarding HIV prevention.
Study investigators are actively pursuing alternative sources of funding and will appeal the decision to terminate funding. We will be in touch if any of our efforts are successful to resume the study. In the meantime, all study activities have been paused and we have closed survey links. Any study activities completed prior to receiving this note will receive full incentives.
We appreciate your involvement in the MIC-DROP study, and please stay in touch with us if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
MIC-DROP Team
