The Johns Hopkins University CFAR has announced request for applications for the CFAR Africure Program, which is funded by the NIH/NIAID and administered through the JHU CFAR and the Inter-CFAR Sub-Saharan Africa Working Group.
The Africure Program will award five grants of $200,000 for one year, plus applicable indirect costs. This program intends to attract highly talented early- and mid-career stage investigators from sub-Saharan Africa to address critical questions related to HIV cure research. Recipients of the awards will be mentored by and collaborate with established HIV investigators across CFARs and affiliated institutions in Africa, with the goal of having a transformational impact on the careers of African investigators, their institutions, and the entire HIV cure enterprise.
