PROGRAMME - CALL FOR CONCEPT PROPOSALS - DEADLINE DECEMBER 22

FYI


The International AIDS Society (IAS) in partnership with the National
Institutes of Health (NIH)-Centers for AIDS Research (CFARs) would like to
announce a new programme to support developmental research projects which
aim to introduce scientists from other disciplines to the field of HIV
research. We anticipate that this initiative will foster cross disciplinary
research, promote novel ideas, and aid in the success of investigators at an
early career stage. The programme will offer grant funding for 1-2 years
with support of up to $150,000 per year in direct costs and will be
coordinated and managed by the Centers for AIDS Research. The programme will
target early stage investigators who have received a terminal degree (PhD,
MD, DSc, etc.) within the last ten years in the following disciplines:


Molecular and cellular biology

Immunology

Virology

Pharmacology

Genomics/Genetics/Gene technology

Structural biology

Chemistry/Biochemistry

Infectious disease

Biotechnology

Behavioral and social sciences

Malignancies

Metabolic

Cardiovascular

Neurology

Public Health

Health Services Research

Epidemiology

Pathology

Bioengineering

Operations Research


Researchers who have not previously conducted HIV/AIDS research are
encouraged to apply. Researchers who have had any previous grant or contract
in HIV/AIDS research are not eligible.

The developmental projects will be supported in collaboration with a CFAR
institution with expertise in the candidate's area of proposed research.
This will involve a competitive review process. The specifics of the 2-step
application process are available on www.cnihr.org:


- Step 1: Submission of concept proposals is open from 16 November to 22
December 2009.

- Step 2: Full research proposals should be submitted by 22 April 2010


For more information about this programme, please click here or email
IAS-NIH at iasociety.org.

We would like to ask you to actively promote this initiative within your
organization as well as other institutions that may have researchers who may
benefit from this opportunity. With your assistance, we hope to reach a
maximum number of scientists and make this programme a success. Scientists
from low and middle income countries are strongly encouraged to submit their
applications.

We request your help in the following ways:


Please inform eligible candidates of this programme.

Please advise us of specific scientific organizations we should be aware of
in marketing this initiative.
