RFAs / Funding Opportunities

OPEN - PHACS Emerging Research Pilot (ERP) Program

Applications for the PHACS Emerging Research Pilot (ERP) Program are OPEN and will be reviewed on a rolling basis with a final deadline of July 31, 2024. 

The Pediatric HIV/AIDS Cohort Study (PHACS) Emerging Research Pilot (ERP) Program supports the investigation of new scientific questions arising during the course of PHACS studies, as well as previously identified scientific questions, which align with the PHACS scientific agenda but were unable to be funded in the current grant funding.

These Pilot Program funds are intended primarily for PHACS-affiliated investigators who wish to apply for PHACS discretionary funds in order to advance the aims of the PHACS network study protocols. It is expected that discretionary funds would be sought to conduct assays of existing PHACS specimens. Non-PHACS investigators may also apply, but at least one PHACS-affiliated investigator must be included on the proposal team. Non-PHACS investigators should identify a PHACS investigator and/or Working Group to participate in the development of the proposal. Applications may not include any foreign components (e.g. international investigators or institutions).

High priority areas for funding: 

• Evaluating short and long-term effects of antiretroviral and HIV exposures
• Understanding biological mechanisms of antiretroviral therapy and its adverse outcomes
• The impact of social and structural determinants of disparities and/or inequities on the health of PHACS participants and their families 
• Studies that result in actionable findings with the potential for an immediate impact on the community of people living with or affected by HIV


APPLICATION DOCUMENTS:

To view the full eligibility requirements, funding information, key dates, and application requirements, please refer to the Emerging Research Pilot (ERP) Program Request for Applications (RFA) and budget-related documents attached here.

CLOSED - George R. Seage, III PHACS Early Career Investigator Mentored Research Award Program Application

Applications for the 2022 George R. Seage III PHACS Early Career Investigator Mentored Research Award are now OPEN. The deadline is January 9, 2023. 

Dr. George Seage was a beloved Professor of Epidemiology at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health and one of the founding members of the PHACS network. George was a passionate advocate for research on HIV prevention and treatment using novel epidemiologic methods, and was a deeply committed mentor to many early career investigators, in PHACS and beyond. The PHACS Early Career Investigator Award was dedicated to George’s memory in the Spring of 2021. To read more about George, his accomplishments, and his legacy please see the PHACS In Memoriam Page. 


PLEASE NOTE: As a reminder, PHACS is a network which conducts U.S.-based observational cohort studies, in which data collection is performed in domestic settings. Because the Early Career Investigator application highly encourages proposals which leverage existing PHACS data and repository samples, proposals that do not include the use of PHACS data or repository samples will be reviewed but may not be scored as favorably as those that do. Additionally, please note that awards can be made only to US institutions and proposals cannot include subcontracts or payments to foreign institutions.
