Providence/Boston Center for AIDS Research (CFAR)
Mentoring
Think Tank Sessions provide members with a chance to present and get feedback on early stage ideas for their CFAR developmental applications.
Grant Writing Workshops provide HIV researchers of all levels of experience (post-doc, junior, and senior investigators) a forum in which to present their ideas for proposals and obtain feedback from an interdisciplinary group of senior faculty.
The Providence/Boston CFAR offers proposal development curriculum for post-doctoral fellows and early-stage investigators planning to submit a K award proposal on HIV/AIDS to NIH for funding.
Learn how to become a more effective mentor through the CFAR Mentor-the-Mentor Training Program.
Pre-award/Post-award mentorship allows junior investigators or those investigators new to HIV/AIDS to be linked with CFAR mentors prior to the submission of CFAR developmental applications.
