The TRNAMH program is supported by the NIMH Research Education Mentoring Program for HIV/AIDS Researchers NIH/NIMH Grant #R25MH080661 at Johns Hopkins University.

1. Didactic Component: The web-based didactic portion is a 16-week course held live every Tuesday from 2:30pm-4pm EST from August 30th, 2016 – December 13th, 2016. Students anywhere in or out of the continental USA can actively engage in discussions with the instructors.

2. Pilot Award Component: Trainees who have taken the didactic course are eligible to apply for a one-year pilot grant in the amount of $20,000 awarded annually on a competitive basis. Stay tuned for upcoming award cycles.

3. Research Scholar Component: The program provides support to eligible trainees to pursue laboratory based or clinical research experiences for a duration of up to 3 months. The goal is for those trainees to generate preliminary data for grant applications focused on NeuroAIDS.
