CHIPTS is excited to share funding opportunity announcements for the 2024 HIV Global Public Health Travel Fellowship program and the 2025 Mentored Pilot Grant Program. These opportunities are designed to prompt new science and support research among emerging investigators. We encourage applications expressing interest in HIV prevention, substance use, and/or mental health services. Learn more about each program below.
2025 Mentored Pilot Grant Program
The pilot grant for emerging and new investigators (ranging from doctoral students to assistant professors) provides mentorship from engaged and committed faculty mentors/sponsors on a well-defined research project that can last up to 12 months. The successful completion of the proposed mentored research project is expected to enhance emerging and new investigators’ potential to develop into productive, independent research scientists. Applicants are encouraged to submit proposals of innovative and transformative domestic and international social, behavioral, policy, and combination prevention pilot studies that will produce data and experiences that will support future funded grants and career development.
Application Deadline: Monday, July 29, 2024 by 5pm PT

2024 HIV Global Public Health Travel Fellowship
The fellowship program is designed 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.
Application Deadline: Applications are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis until Friday, August 30, 2024.
Funds Deadline: All travel funded by the Fellowship must be completed by Thursday, October 31, 2024.
