Penn Center for AIDS Research 2002
Pilot and Feasibility Grant Program
Call for Proposals

The Penn Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) seeks applications to the pilot program offered through 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 one of the following requirements are invited to apply:

1) New investigators who have never held extramural support from the NIH.

2) Investigators who have not previously worked in HIV/AIDS.

3) Investigators who have worked in HIV/AIDS who wish to study an area that represents a significant departure from their currently funded work.

Applications may be downloaded via the web at www.med.upenn.edu/aids.

Deadline: Completed proposals are due by Friday, March 29, 2002.
