Investigators are invited to contact the various CFAR Core Directors regarding the use of these resources. The developmental component of the UCSD CFAR is designed to facilitate and encourage new investigators and new ideas in AIDS research. The intent is to optimize opportunities for productive research by providing rapid financial support in conjunction with the resource support provided by the CFAR cores. Eligible applicants must be faculty at UCSD or UCSD CFAR participating institutions. This would include Research Associates and Project Scientists.
Funding is for one year only.
Awards to the same investigator for two consecutive years should be avoided except under unusual circumstances. Deadlines for developmental grant applications are 4PM 1 December and 1 June. If either of those dates falls on a weekend, the applications will be due by noon the following Monday. Additional supporting materials may be submitted along with the application. Three copies of the application must be submitted.
