CFAR Supplement

The UW/Fred Hutch Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) announces the availability of supplement funding for research projects, see attached announcement for more information. Topics are as follows:

  1. Formative, intervention, and implementation research to explore delivery of long-acting PrEP in populations who may benefit (up to $150,000 direct costs/year)
  2. HIV and co-morbidities: Identification of mechanisms and strategies for optimal care that also reduce disparities (up to $150,000 direct cost/year)
  3. Community-led research topic (up to $150,000 direct costs/year)
  4. CFAR Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Pathway Initiative (CDEIPI) (up to $100,000 direct costs/year)

Eligibility: Project leaders for all scientific areas of interest (topics #1-3) are restricted to early career investigators who have never received an R01-equivalent, P-series or U-series research grants, and established investigators new to HIV. Post-doctoral fellows are eligible to apply if they will assume a faculty position by the time the supplement project and funding begins. For topic #3: Development of the research plan should be an equal partnership between the supplement PI and the community member. For topic #4: Established investigators can be the project leaders for the CDEIPI topic.

Please read the Announcement closely for specific project restrictions.

Each CFAR is only allowed to submit a total of two applications for topics 1-3 and one application for topic 4 to NIH for consideration, so we are conducting an internal competition. If you are interested in this opportunity, please:

After selection of the finalists, full proposals (research plan can be in draft form; budget and other business elements must be final) are due by Monday, April 3, and research plan must be final by Tuesday, April 11.
