GRANT OVERVIEW
The Developmental grant program is designed to mentor and support new investigators and new ideas in HIV research. Submissions are accepted from early stage (pre-R01) investigators. Established (post-R01) investigators may only apply if they are new recruits to our member institutions. Applications are accepted twice each year, typically due on February 1 and August 1, or the next business day if either date falls on a weekend or holiday. Developmental grant applicants may submit only one Developmental grant application per cycle for a maximum of $50,000.
