Partner Pilot Awards support investigator pairs, with one person from an academic institution and the other from a community-based organization or public health agency.

We invite proposals in basic, clinical, behavioral, substance use, and implementation science research that align with the priorities of the Office of AIDS Research (OAR) and Ending the HIV Epidemic. Clinical trials are not allowed. Faculty with primary appointments at WashU, SLU, and HSSU, and who are early-stage investigators or who are established investigators new to HIV/AIDS research are eligible to apply.

Pilot awards will be awarded for one year and amount to $20,000 in direct costs only. Indirect costs will not be awarded. Contact the D-CFAR Developmental Core with questions, or visit our FAQ page for more information on applying for this funding opportunity.
