Whats up GYCA, my first post to the list. See opportunity below
excited to be a part of this community
Tyler (North America RFP)
Interested in community-based research and inequalities in HIV/AIDS? Need
help competing for research grants? Looking for sustained mentorship and
access to a critical mass of HIV research activity?
The demographics of the HIV epidemic show a disproportionate rate of
infection and transmission among racially and economically disadvantaged
groups. Yet research scientists from groups and communities most impacted by
HIV/AIDS remain significantly underrepresented among funded HIV researchers.
The REIDS program was designed to meet the challenges and barriers to
advancement experienced by groups who are underrepresented in the field of
HIV research. Scholars will attend a six-week Summer Institute at the Yale
Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA) for two consecutive
summers and receive sustained mentorship for the duration of the program;
gain access to secondary mentors for special topical/technical support; and
complete a $20,000 pilot research project as a means to developing a major
grant application to an external funding agency.
Four scholarships will be awarded in 2011, with participants attaching to
the program for 2 years. Scholars will be appointed as "Yale Visiting
Research Scholars" and, in addition to a funded pilot research project, will
receive $1,000 for round-trip travel to New Haven, and a $5,000 summer
stipend. Accommodation for the duration of the Summer Institute will also be
fully subsidized.
Applicants will have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent and hold a post-doctoral
or early-career faculty position for the duration of their affiliation with
REIDS. Scholars are expected to have advanced preparation in applicable
theory and content in a health-related discipline, research design and data
analysis, and may have experience in conducting an independent research
project. Applicants will be drawn from underrepresented racial, ethnic,
disabled and economically disadvantaged groups.
For more information and to apply before February 28 2011 please visit the
CIRA website at http://cira.med.yale.edu/opportunities/reids/index.html
