The DC CFAR would like to congratulate the recipients of the DC CFAR Pilot Awards for the Fall 2015 cycle!
The DC CFAR Pilot Awards Program is a competitive program that provides pilot funds to HIV/AIDS investigators to assist them in the development of their NIH-funded research careers. This program is designed to encourage new and innovative research by early stage investigators and established investigators in other fields who wish to transition into HIV/AIDS research.
