The awards aim to provide opportunities and support for early stage investigators, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and community researchers in efforts to promote science, foster networking, and support capacity building in HIV research. There is one award of $1,500 available for each. Themes for both the William E. Cunningham and Mark A. Etzel Scholars Awards focus on health disparities and inequities, social/structural determinants, medical mistrust, policy impact, structural factors, and/or implementation science.
CHIPTS is accepting applications for our 2022 Community-Research Kick Start Program. This funding opportunity is to help support workshops, planning meetings, symposia, or other activities that are designed to promote new science, foster new collaborations, or increase capacity building.

Call for proposals is now open for the CHIPTS Mentored Pilot Grant. The proposals should focus on the intersection of HIV/AIDS treatment or prevention with mental health and/or substance use co-morbidities.
