*International AIDS Society (IAS) and National Institute on Drug Abuse
(NIDA) Fellowship Programme Encouraging HIV and Drug use Research*


With the support of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the
International AIDS Society (IAS) has established a research fellowship
programme focusing on HIV and drug use, with the goal of contributing to
advances in the scientific understanding of drug use and HIV, while
fostering multinational research on HIV and drug use.

This fellowship programme consists of two awards: US$75,000 to be awarded to
a junior scientist for 18-months post-doctoral training and US$75,000 to be
awarded to a well-established HIV researcher for eight-month long
professional development training, both at leading institutes excelling in
research in the HIV-related drug use field.

The two initial fellowships were awarded at the IAS Conference on HIV
Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2009), which will take place in
Cape Town , South Africa on 19-22 July 2009.

*In 2010, up to four fellowships will be awarded in conjunction with the
XVIII International AIDS Conference (AIDS2010) in Vienna , Austria on 18-23
July 2010. *

So as to make this program a success, we are requesting your help to reach a
maximum number of scientists. We are requesting your help in the following
ways:

1. Please distribute this letter and the attached website advertisement
through your networks and to eligible applicants at your institution.
