- Initial AIDS Research Projects – applicants who have not yet received R01 type funding from NIH in the HIV/AIDS field
- Pilot Projects testing new or innovative ideas – applicants who have received R01 type funding from NIH, but not in the HIV/AIDS field (new to HIV research)
- Collaborative Projects – applicants would include at least one HIV investigator; collaborators must not have previous NIH R01 type funding together.
- Community Engaged Research Awards – applicants who have not yet received R01 type funding from NIH in the HIV/AIDS field, and who collaborate with a community-based organization. The goal of the Community Engaged Research Awards is to provide pilot research funds to Co-Principal Investigator teams consisting of one academic investigator and one community-based investigator. These award funds will be shared between the academic institution and the community-based organization.
- If you are interested in submitting a Community Engaged Research Award application, you must contact Dr. Benjamin Linas (Benjamin.linas@bmc.org) prior to submitting a Letter of Intent in order to confirm that the proposed project is appropriate for this funding opportunity.
