Availability of NIH-funded T32 Research Training Funds to Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and Boston Children’s Hospital with funding slots available beginning June, July, or August of 2025 (depending on the grant).
The goal of the program is to train MD and/or PhD investigators for careers in scientific research. Three distinct areas of scientific focus are supported:
1. Laboratory-based HIV research (PI, Dr. Daniel Kuritzkes): Potential areas of investigation include any HIV-related laboratory research. Positions available in 2025 pending NIH refunding.
2. HIV clinical research (PIs, Dr. Kenneth Freedberg and Dr. Mark Siedner): Potential areas of investigation include HIV-related clinical and/or population research, including clinical epidemiology, outcomes, implementation science, and health policy studies. Please note that we also frequently have one slot each year that can support someone pursuing clinical research related to vulnerable populations that does not necessarily focus explicitly on HIV.
3. Fundamental investigation into infectious diseases and microbiology (PI Dr. Marcia Goldberg): Potential areas of investigation include fundamental and/or epidemiological research relating to infectious diseases, its pathogenesis, and/or microbiology, not related to HIV.
Training grants are available to trainees from any Harvard-affiliated program. Support provided includes salary or stipend, registration and travel to professional meetings, and other training-related expenses. Tuition for the Program in Clinical Effectiveness (PCE) at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health or PhD coursework may be covered for some fellows. Applicants must be nominated by a mentor who is an independently funded investigator.
