Funding Highlight: Duke CFAR awards two CFAR Microgrants to Drs. Schenita Randolph, Brandon Knettel, and Susan Reif
The Duke CFAR recently awarded two Microgrant Awards. These one-year awards for up to $20,000 are intended to facilitate HIV/AIDS research by providing modest, but essential, resources that are not readily available from other sources. The Microgrant program is designed to support new NIH grant applications that will increase the HIV/AIDS funded research base at Duke.
Early Career Investigator Resources from the NIH Office of AIDS Research
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new resource for Early Career Investigators from the NIH Office of AIDS Research (OAR) intended to centralize relevant information for investigators and provide easy access to grant opportunities, basic information, and other resources, such as training and capacity building programs.
Global Equity During Pandemics: Lessons from HIV and COVID for Designing a New Paradigm
Ongoing global Covid-19 vaccine and therapeutic inequities threaten to prolong and exacerbate the pandemic for all countries. As advocates, academics, and policymakers alike call for the U.S. and other wealthy nations to share these lifesaving resources with the world, it is prudent to consider the lessons learned from the HIV pandemic that can be translated into this current moment.

When Thuy Le went to Vietnam in 2008 to conduct research on HIV drug resistance, what she saw in the country’s AIDS hospitals changed the course of her career.
New 2022 RFA for the HIV/Aging Pilot Program
For the 2022 pilot funding call, HARC will fund 2-4 pilot projects, at $40,000 each, focusing the application of geroscience to better understand aging in people living with HIV (PLWH). These are intended to be one-year pilot grants. Pilot applications are welcome from (a) faculty investigators who have not yet had an R01 or other substantial NIH funding (i.e., new investigators by NIH definitions) or (b) Geroscience faculty investigators at any rank who are new to HIV research. Post-doctoral fellows are NOT eligible unless they will be a faculty member on or before July 1 2022.
