This funding opportunity, administered by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), is designed to support early-career investigators undertaking pioneering research on chronic conditions, coinfections, and comorbidities (3C) in the context of HIV. The program seeks transformative research projects that introduce novel concepts and approaches, distinct from existing work, and align with the scientific priorities of the Office of AIDS Research (OAR).
The focus includes understanding and developing preventive and therapeutic strategies for HIV-related 3Cs, especially within pediatric and maternal populations. The initiative encourages applicants from diverse fields, such as mathematics, engineering, computer science, and artificial intelligence, to bring innovative methods to HIV prevention and treatment research.
