Creative and Novel Ideas in HIV Research (CNIHR) Research Grant Initiative

The NIH OAR, NIH CFARs, and International AIDS Society (IAS) have launched the fifth round of the Creative and Novel Ideas in HIV Research (CNIHR) research grant initiative. The concept proposals are due October 16, 2015. Since 2010, the CNIHR Program has awarded more than $16.1 million to fund 44 innovative research projects in the HIV field. The intent of this program is to attract both international and U.S.-based early-stage investigators from outside the field of HIV research to help address key scientific questions in HIV research, including emerging issues of long-term survival with HIV infection, prevention of HIV transmission, and research toward a cure. Awards will be funded for 1-2 years, up to $150,000.   If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Stacy Carrington-Lawrence by e-mail at carringtons@od.nih.gov or by phone at 301-435-8930.   To learn more about CNIHR, please visit: http://cnihr.org/   For a copy of the CNIHR Request for Proposals, please send an e-mail to ContactUs@aidsinfo.nih.gov.
