The San Diego Center for AIDS Research (SD CFAR) International Core offers Pilot grants to investigators in seven countries. In general, investigators and/or the proposed research must be based in a country where the per-capita gross domestic product is less than $20,000 USD per year. Preference will be given to supporting projects based in Mexico and Mozambique, and funds are also available to support meritorious projects in Brazil, India, Kyrgyzstan, South Africa, and Ukraine (in areas unaffected by the current conflict). Our focus countries offer the potential for long-term collaboration between investigators at SD CFAR member institutions and one or more academic or government entities. The list of eligible countries is reviewed annually by the International Core Advisory Board.

Pilot grant recipients gain financial support for their studies and discounts on many SD CFAR resources. In return, the International Core expects grant recipients to successfully apply for subsequent grant funding and to publish manuscripts related to their SD CFAR-supported research. Continued NIAID funding of the International Core will be primarily determined by the subsequent scientific productivity of Pilot grant recipients.
.
Starting April 2024, SD CFAR is moving to one cycle per year, offering a maximum of two grants per year to allow more time for individual outreach and training. In general, if the due date falls on a weekend, applications will be due the next business day. The maximum award is US$50,000 in direct costs for one year. Applications must adhere to several criteria and must undergo a rigorous, objective review process. If you are ready to apply, please go to our page.
