REATIVE AND NOVEL IDEAS IN HIV RESEARCH (CNIHR) International Aids Society

Description: The International Aids Society invites proposals for creative and novel ideas in HIV research (CNIHR). The aim of this programme is to attract international and US-based early-stage investigators from outside the field of HIV to help address key scientific questions in HIV research, including emerging issues of long-term survival with HIV infection, prevention of HIV transmission and research towards a cure. Research topics could include any aspect of HIV or HIV-related research. Projects may not include prospective human interventional trials, although studies of animal models, stored samples from existing cohorts, small pathogenic studies or in vitro trials are permitted.

Junior investigators who have completed their first terminal research degree or medical residency within the last 10 years and who hold a faculty or equivalent position at an academic institution, or a comparable position in a not-for-profit organisation or research institution, are eligible to apply. Postdoctoral trainees who have completed their training and will have a faculty or comparable position prior to the deadline for full proposals may also apply. Applicants may not yet have been engaged in HIV research. It is anticipated that 10 to 12 grants will be awarded under this call. Funding is worth up to US$150,000 in direct costs, plus applicable indirect costs, per year for one or two years.
