The
International AIDS Society has launched the Collaborative Initiative for
Paediatric HIV Education and Research (CIPHER)
Grant Programme to fund, to a total of US$1 million, research projects that
have the potential to contribute to the optimization of diagnosis, prevention,
treatment and care of infants, children and adolescents affected by HIV.
The
grant programme is part of the initiative aimed at answering outstanding
clinical and operational research questions
needed to optimize clinical management and delivery of HIV services for
infants, children and adolescents.
CIPHER
has two goals:
- Goal1: Invest in and promote priority paediatric research
- Goal2: Strengthen paediatric cohort collaboration
The
intention of the grant programme is to attract early-stage investigators – from
inside and outside the field of HIV research – to address critical questions
related to growing up with an HIV infection, as well as to examine the impact
of HIV or antiretroviral perinatal exposure in uninfected children. Supporting
and attracting investigators to the field of paediatric HIV research can help
encourage innovative ideas and fundamental research that provide better
understanding of key unresolved questions.
The
deadline to submit letter of intent for this grant is 26 November 2012. For
