Click here to find the supplement announcement.

 

Eligible applicants include early stage (within 10 years of terminal degree or medical residency) investigators or established investigators in non-HIV fields who have never received an NIH research award for HIV/AIDS studies. Investigators should be beyond the postdoctoral level to be eligible to apply. Inter-CFAR collaborations are encouraged.  Applications must align with the NIH HIV/AIDS research priorities (NOT-OD-15-137). 

Investigators who are not considered an NIH ESI because they fall outside the 10 year limit and have NOT received any NIH HIV/AIDS research funding may be considered for this opportunity on a case-by-case basis.

Interested applicants should submit a concept sheet to us by April 11th.  Concept sheets should include the following: proposed title, listing of any co-investigators and/or mentors, specific aims, background, approach, and significance of expected findings or results.  Concept sheets should not exceed one page, single spaced, and should be submitted to [email protected].
