General Information
The Center for HIV Identification, Prevention, and Treatment Services (CHIPTS) is accepting applications for 2024 HIV Global Public Health Travel Fellowship program. The program is to support researchers to develop research opportunities either in a new global setting or to reinvigorate global health collaborations and research that have not been active for at least 2 years. Applicants who have a strong commitment and interest in doing research addressing the intersection of HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention and mental health and/or substance use co-morbidities in global settings are highly encouraged to apply. The purpose is to provide researchers with opportunities to observe and learn new research approaches and methods, experience implementation science in a different cultural context, and stimulate new research activities in a global setting.
Goals of the Travel Fellowship
- Observe research projects to inform research designs and gain new skills in implementing research projects within a cultural global setting
- Acquire knowledge of different global health programs and practice by documenting and disseminating best practices and lessons learned
- Utilize the experience to develop opportunities for collaboration and invigorate own global health research projects to develop research grant proposals (e.g. R01, R21, pilot grant, etc.)
Applicant Eligibility
- Must be affiliated or have an appointment at UCLA, including postdoctoral scholars, fellows, or faculty (at any level)
- Must not have active/current global health activities in the country that you are applying to. The goal of the travel fellowship is to develop collaborations and gain experience in a new global setting or reinvigorate a past or non-active global collaboration.
- Must demonstrate commitment and experience in doing global HIV public health research
- Must demonstrate ability to work independently and as part of a team in a cross-cultural setting
