Description
The HIV Research Scholars Program, run by the Gilead Sciences Research Scholars Program, supports innovative research by emerging investigators. The U.S. program focuses on early-career junior faculty with a strong career interest in HIV research. It seeks new perspectives and research topics that advance scientific understanding, address unmet medical needs, and contribute to a more inclusive research landscape.
The program supports work with potential to produce breakthroughs, innovative interventions, and advances in clinical care, including research in settings that might not typically receive funding. A Scientific Review Committee composed of leaders in HIV selects proposals based on scientific merit, feasibility, and innovation. Research addressing unmet patient needs and health inequities is central to the program’s purpose.
