HIV and Drug Use Research Fellowship

Those eligible for the Post-doctoral training award are junior investigators with a doctoral degree (PhD) obtained no more than six years before the time of application and medical doctors with a MD or equivalent (MBBS) obtained no more than eight years before the time of application. Applicants must hold a doctorate degree or equivalent before the start of the fellowship, but not necessarily when applying. Those eligible for the Professional development training award are well-established HIV or drug use scientists who are not currently active in the field of HIV-related drug use research, with a minimum of seven years of experience beyond post-doctoral level, and with a documented scientific record that includes publishing in peer-reviewed journals. Applications are encouraged from any country. However, as there are numerous national opportunities for research training within the US, applications from US citizens and permanent residents of the US will not be accepted. All applicants must choose a mentor in an institution different from their current institution. Applicants must be able to start their fellowships before June 1. Applications must be completed in English. In terms of the application process, applications for the programme must be submitted by the prospective fellow through the online application form that will be available on the IAS website from 8 December until 10 February (midnight CET). Applicants will be asked to detail their research goals, provide an abstract of their proposed project, and write a research plan for the duration of their fellowship. The research project must be related to HIV and drug use, e.g., narcotics or alcohol.
