Notice: Due to the termination of the Harvard University CFAR federal grant, we are not issuing new Requests for Proposals (RFPs) at this time. We appreciate your interest and will provide updates should funding opportunities become available in the future.

FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES: Prior to the May 2025 termination of the HU CFAR grant and under the direction of the Developmental & Mentoring Core, the HU CFAR released requests for proposals biannually to support high-impact HIV/AIDS research projects with an emphasis on multidisciplinary collaboration and the mentoring and advancement of early career investigators, including individuals who are from backgrounds less represented in HIV research.

Scholar awards provide salary and research support for Harvard-affiliated early career investigators and international investigators with a Harvard mentor who plan a transition to independence. Applicants may request up to $75,000 in salary and/or non-salary costs per year for one year plus the cost of institutional fringe.
