Early stage investigators require a mentor; newly recruited senior investigators do not. However, as a new recruit, you may find a mentor to be quite helpful. Recruits in the second year of their new positions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please email cfar@ucsd.edu if you have questions.
Mentors assist in preparing the proposal, and if funded, advise on conduct and publication of the study. Mentors need not be experts in HIV research but should have received their own NIH R01 or equivalent (R23, R29, R37, or DP2) funding and have familiarity with submitting and managing NIH grants. Mentors' qualifications will be evaluated during the review process to ensure they can support the applicants.
For assistance in identifying a mentor, please use our Mentor Match form or contact any of the following:
