CANFAR awards HIV Innovation Research Grants in four broad areas: basic sciences, clinical, epidemiological, and psycho-social.
In this year’s Innovation Research Grant competition, the grants awarded are $40,000. The research includes all aspects of HIV prevention, treatment and care, and cure. The goal of the $40,000 awards is to stimulate and fund HIV/AIDS related research:
- that requires seed funding and/or is focusing on new research, and/or
- that is being done by individuals starting out in the field.
