FIGHT Research

Thanks to a $754,000 grant from the NIH, Sarah Bauerle Bass and her research team of Temple faculty will be developing a web-based app to improve HIV prevention and substance use treatment access among incarcerated women in Philadelphia. PA-LINKS will link women leaving incarceration with community partners like Philadelphia FIGHT for access to methadone, buprenorphine, Vivitrol, and PrEP, along with contact resources and the ability to mutually support one another.

“Other populations tend to get the lion’s share of the funding for HIV prevention. Focusing on these vulnerable women is super important, and we’re glad we have that ability with this grant.”
