Developmental Grants Program
Spring 2010 Request for Applications
The CFAR Developmental Grants Program provides support for three types of AIDS biomedical and behavioral research projects:
- Initial AIDS Research Projects
- Pilot Projects testing new or innovative ideas
- Collaborative Projects
The goal of the CFAR developmental program is to enable the grantee to obtain sufficient original data to achieve NIH research funding in his/her area of investigation.
We are strongly encouraging applications that include cross-campus (Tufts and Brown) or interdepartmental collaborations and/or utilization of services from more than one core (HIV & Women, Prevention Science, Nutrition Metabolism & GI, and Outcomes & Biostatistics).
All applicants must have a full-time appointment at either Brown University or Tufts University at the rank of Assistant Professor or greater.
- Each award of up to $40,000 is granted for one year.
- If your project involves a foreign component or takes place in a foreign institution, foreign IRB approval must be granted prior to submission of application.
- If you are applying for either a pilot or collaborative project please review the guidelines regarding eligibility and submit required documents to John Coffin (John.Coffin@tufts.edu).
- Applications for this award cycle are due April 1, 2010. Up to four awards will be granted during this cycle.
