CFAR International Mentored Scientist Award Program
The International Mentored Scientist Award Program in HIV/AIDS seeks to provide opportunities to foreign scientists to compete for career-development funds. Project proposals should be geared toward the interests of the applicant (clinical, basic, behavioral-epidemiological) and focus on HIV/AIDS research in the investigator's home country. Recipients of these awards are mentored throughout the project period by a UCSF or affiliate faculty mentor. Applicants for this award must indicate a mentor(s) who will commit to guiding the applicant through the duration of the proposed project.
- Term: 1 year
- Number of awards: Dependent on available funding
- Award amount: $25,000 in direct costs
