Scholarships
The HIV Research Trust is a charitable foundation that provides financial support to physicians, nurses, scientists and other health care professionals in resource-poor settings working in the field of HIV infection.
The support is in the form of Scholarships which are usually for a few months' duration and cover travel, living expenses and consumables. The Scholarships are awarded competitively based on a peer-review process on an annual basis. They are designed to enable the candidate to travel to another research unit to learn skills and techniques which should develop the candidate's career and, on return to the home institution, add to the capacity of the department to carry out research related to treatment and prevention.
Examples of skills and techniques that may be acquired are; clinical management; clinical trial experience and practice, data and trial management; statistical expertise; acquisition of laboratory techniques and analyses; cell and molecular biology.
The HIV Research Trust aims to support a broad mix of disciplines. All aspects of research related to HIV infection and its consequences are eligible including clinical care, basic and applied biology, epidemiology, psychological ethical, economic, educational and societal aspects.
How to apply for a Scholarship
Applications for HIV Research Trust Scholarships are now being received.
Applications for Scholarships are requested annually from early September to mid-October. For ease of communication with all the nations that might be involved, application is web and email based. You can find more details in the Guidance Notes.
Complete applications are assessed independently and judged by the quality of the proposal with respect to the science, the training to be received and the value of the programme to the home institution. Once this assessment has been made the successful scholars are chosen.
This selection is completed by the second half of December with successful Scholars being informed by the first or second week of January the following year at the latest. Detailed information on the application process can be found in the Guidance Notes accompanying this page. Please note that there are more applicants than can be funded, so adherence to the guidance is essential for the application to be considered.
In this website we have listed a brief description of past Scholars, their speciality and their area of research interest to show the range of research and training that has been covered.
