Apply Now for Fellowship Programme Encouraging HIV and Drug Use Research
With the support of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the International AIDS Society (IAS) has established a research fellowship programme, with the goal of contributing to advances in the scientific understanding of drug use and HIV, while fostering multinational research.
This fellowship programme consists of two awards: US$75,000 to be awarded to a junior scientist for an 18-month post-doctoral training; and US$75,000 to be awarded to a well-established HIV researcher for an eight-month long professional development training, both at leading institutes excelling in research in the HIV-related drug use field.
The two initial fellowships were awarded at the 5th IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2009), which took place in Cape Town, South Africa on 19-22 July 2009.
In 2010, up to four fellowships will be awarded in conjunction with the XVIII International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2010), to be held in Vienna, Austria from 18 to 23 July 2010.
