Forecasted
Standing Up for HIV Science: Open Call to Address Research Funding Gaps in California 2026 supports HIV investigators whose research faces federal funding gaps, helping sustain work important to California’s HIV response.
Funder: University of California
Due Dates (Anticipated): May 2027 (Letter of intent) | July 2027 (Full application)
Funding Amounts: Indirect costs capped at 40% of modified total direct costs for institutions with a federally approved rate
Summary: Supports HIV research important to California’s response when emerging gaps in federal funding put that work at risk.
Key Information: Investigators may apply regardless of early-stage investigator status.
Description
The California HIV/AIDS Research Program (CHRP), administered by the University of California, invites proposals across all areas of HIV science through this open call. It aims to protect research important to California’s HIV response that is being deprioritized by the federal government or may lose federal funding.
CHRP gives priority to areas of HIV science disproportionately affected by emerging federal funding gaps. Its interests include HIV prevention and care research conducted with and for priority communities, as well as support for early-career investigators. These examples do not limit the call’s scope: investigators at other career stages and researchers working in other areas of HIV science may also apply.
