Description
The University of California San Francisco offers this pilot award through its UCSF-Bay Area Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) and Resource Allocation Program (RAP). It supports innovative translational, clinical, and behavioral-epidemiological HIV research by investigators entering the field. Projects may initiate a new line of work or generate preliminary findings for a future grant application.
CFAR is particularly interested in work spanning basic HIV pathogenesis through clinical outcomes, including HIV and aging, inflammation, latency, cure, organoid models, co-infections, HIV in women, and implementation science. Research concerning people living with or affected by HIV in the United States is also of interest.
