This initiative seeks to enhance AIDS research training opportunities for scientists from target countries and to increase international collaborations and funded research opportunities. Target countries included in the CFAR/UCB program are:
Brazil, Thailand, India, China, and selected countries in Africa. Other countries can be considered. Activities Supported by this ProgramProjects proposed should support translational AIDS research within CFAR's scientific mission: bridging the interfaces between basic and clinical, basic and behavioral-epidemiological, and/or clinical and behavioral-epidemiological sciences. Funds awarded can be used to cover expenses such as trainee stipends and salaries, tuition, travel, and training-related expenses (health insurance, scientific meetings, incidental research expenses, in-country field research and support of project infrastructure in a trainee's home country). Training project awards vary in dollar amount and duration, and average about $25,000 per six month period per trainee. Please contact our Awards Analyst for information on departments and resources supporting actitivities such as obtaining visas, providing stipends to non-resident aliens/obtaining Social Security Numbers, trainee living needs, insurance and proper study approvals.
