Award amount: $40,000 in direct costs. For more information, see the Pilot Program application guidelines. Basic Science AwardsThe Basic Scientist Award Program provides funding for junior or senior fellows engaged in laboratory based HIV/AIDS basic science research, or faculty (all levels) moving from non-HIV into HIV/AIDS basic science laboratory research, who are seeking seed money to get a project started; or to gather preliminary data and findings for a future grant effort. Award amount: $40,000 in direct costs. For more information, see the Basic Sciencist Program application guidelines. Mentored Scientist AwardsThe Mentored Scientist Award Program is aimed toward postdoctoral or clinical fellows in training with backgrounds in clinical, basic, and/or behavioral-epidemiological research undertaking larger translational HIV research projects under the tutelage of a mentor. Applicants for this award must indicate a mentor(s) who will commit to guiding the applicant through the duration of the proposed project. Award amount: $40,000 in direct costs. For more information, see the Mentored Scientist Program application guidelines. International Scientist Training ProgramInternational Mentored Scientist Award (funded by CFAR) seeks to provide opportunities to junior foreign scientists to compete for career-development funds. Project proposals should be geared toward the interests of the applicant (clinical, basic, and/or behavioral-epidemiological research) 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 faculty mentor. Award amount: $25,000 in direct costs.
