Informational Webinar: March 25, 2020 ( link)
Required Core Consultation Deadline: April 15, 2020
Application Deadline: April 22, 2020
Purpose: To encourage investigators, especially those junior or new to CFAR, to leverage existing CFAR services, data, and/or specimens for short-term, innovative HIV-related pilot projects that are likely to generate sufficient data for subsequent applications for future research funding.
Eligibility:
A Principal Investigator must:
1. Be a faculty member, senior post-doctoral fellow, or scientist at a UW/Fred Hutch CFAR affiliated institution, including the University of Washington, Fred Hutch, Infectious Disease Research Institute (IDRI), Seattle Children’s, University of Hawai’i at Manoa, and affiliated international institutions. Applicants from affiliated non-U.S. institutions must have a primary mentor at one of the U.S.-based UW/Fred Hutch CFAR institutions named above.
2. Have attained a qualifying terminal degree (or equivalents), defined as follows:
- PhD
- MD
- MBChB or MBBS, plus two years of research experience or training
3. Be a UW/Fred Hutch CFAR Member.
Funding:
A CFAR Core services voucher mechanism for up to $15,000 of direct costs per project, and projects must be completed within one year. The awards are intended to fund Core services in excess of what can routinely be provided by a Core, although up to 25% of the iCFAR budget can be used on non-Core expenses that are essential to the project. Those expenses can be in the categories that the National Institutes of Health deems allowable.
