Center for AIDS Research: Feasibility Grant Program

The Penn Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) seeks pilot project applications to its Developmental Core. Proposals regarding any aspect of HIV/AIDS clinical care, epidemiology, virology, immunology, structural biology, vaccine development, or prevention are considered relevant to the goals of the Developmental Core. The CFAR is particularly interested in proposals that bridge programmatic areas, for example, virology and epidemiology, and in proposals that address areas that are not represented in research already ongoing at the CFAR institutions (Penn, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and the Wistar Institute). Proposals that include an international component are also encouraged.

Grants range up to $40,000 for one year, and are generally not renewable. Faculty members holding appointments at the CFAR institutions who meet the following requirements are invited to apply:

• New investigators who have never held extramural support from the NIH.
• Investigators who have not previously worked in HIV/AIDS.
• Investigators who have worked in HIV/AIDS who wish to study an area that represents a significant departure from their currently funded work.

Completed proposals are due May 15, 2001.

To review application guidelines and to request an application, please see the CFAR web site at www.med.upenn.edu/aids/.

For additional information, please contact Evelyn Olivieri, Executive Administrator, phone: (215) 573-7354 or e-mail: aidsres@mail.med.upenn.edu.
