Harvard University T32 HIV Research Training Funds
Available for July/August 2008

The goal of the program is to train both MD and PhD investigators for careers in HIV research.  Pre- and post-doctoral positions are available annually.  Potential areas of investigation include all areas of HIV/AIDS research, ranging from the laboratory to the clinic.  Funding is generally available for two years from two Harvard T32 grants, one concentrating primarily on laboratory-based studies (P.I. Dr. Martin S. Hirsch) and the other on clinical epidemiology and outcomes research (P.I. Dr. Kenneth A. Freedberg).  Both training grants cover salary or stipend, travel to professional meetings, and other training-related expenses and one will cover tuition for the Program in Clinical Effectiveness at Harvard School of Public Health or PhD coursework for some fellows.

Applicants must be nominated by a mentor who is an independently funded investigator. Contact Janet Steele for additional information about these programs.

Deadline: June 1, October 1, February 1 annually

This funding program features a new opportunity for promising postdoctoral scientists to receive both mentored and independent research support from the same award.

The initial 1-2 year mentored phase will allow investigators to complete their supervised research work, publish results, and search for an independent research position. The second, independent phase, years 3-5, will allow awardees who secure an assistant professorship, or equivalent position, to establish their own research program and successfully apply for an NIH Investigator-Initiated (R01) grant.
