Welcome to the CFAR Developmental Core

Core Director: Douglas Richman, MD

What Is the Developmental Core?

The developmental component of the CFAR is designed to facilitate and encourage new investigators and new ideas in HIV and AIDS research. The intent is to optimize opportunities for productive research by providing immediate financial support in association with resource support provided by the core facilities. Three categories of developmental grants will be supported although the number and type of these categories are flexible. At present, the three categories are:

• Investigators new to AIDS research
• Feasibility studies
• Evolving research opportunities

When Are These Grants Available?

Requests for submission of developmental grants will be advertised through the Administrative Core and on line twice a year, for funding in January and July.  Deadline for grant submission is 4PM December 1st and June 1st.
