Overview:
|
The purpose of the Developmental
Core is to provide a source of funding that will encourage scientific
innovation in the field of AIDS research, attract new investigators
to the field, and encourage collaborative research efforts that
would not otherwise be funded. The second purpose is to encourage
the development of underrepresented minority scientists, and
provide mentoring for junior faculty members interested in the
HIV/AIDS research field.
The Developmental Core has created an environment on both
the Tufts and Brown campuses and their affiliated hospitals
where funds via the developmental grant program and mentoring
are available to all Tufts and Brown faculty members with
an appointment of at least Assistant Professor. Please visit
the CFAR Developmental
grant program for specific application instructions and
guidelines.
In addition, Minority Travel Scholarships are available to minority faculty members or trainees in the area of HIV and AIDS research that are affiliated with this CFAR. Further information can be obtained by visiting the Minority Travel Scholarship site.
