About the IAS:

Founded in 1988, the International AIDS Society (IAS) is the world's largest association of HIV professionals, with members from more than 180 countries. IAS members work on all fronts of the global response to AIDS, and include researchers, clinicians, policy and programme planners and public health and community practitioners on the frontlines of the epidemic.

The IAS organizes the world’s two most prestigious HIV conferences, each convened biennially in alternating years. The International AIDS Conference is the largest conference on any global health or development issue, and provides a unique forum for the intersection of science and advocacy. The IAS Conference on HIV Science brings together a broad cross section of HIV professionals and features the latest HIV science, with a focus on implementation – moving scientific advances into practice.

In addition, the IAS programmes advocate for urgent action to reduce the global impact of HIV, including increased investment in HIV cure research; optimizing treatment and care for infants, children and adolescents with HIV in resource-limited settings; preventing and treating HIV-related co-infections; and expanding access to prevention, treatment and care for key populations at higher risk for HIV – such as men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, sex workers and transgender individuals – including protecting their human rights by combatting punitive laws and discriminatory policies.

Are you a young investigator in paediatric HIV? Do you want to address crucial operational science gaps? This could be your chance to be a principal investigator on a sizeable grant for the first time.

Background

The purpose of the Collaborative Initiative for Paediatric HIV Education and Research (CIPHER) Grant Programme is to fund research projects with the potential to address critical research questions that remain unanswered in the global response in order to inform policy change and ensure better outcomes in infants, children and adolescents living with and affected by HIV in resource-limited settings. Designed for early-stage investigators, a key aim of the programme is to build research capacity within resource-limited settings by fostering the next generation of investigators.

In 2017, using an established methodology for setting priorities in health research, CIPHER partnered with WHO to conduct a global study on what evidence is most needed to reach an AIDS free generation by 2030. Through this process, stakeholders worldwide – researchers, implementers, community and young people living with HIV – were engaged and together identified the top research priorities in testing, treatment and service delivery. The result was the development of the Global Research Agendas for Paediatric and Adolescent HIV, which provide guidance and aim to focus research efforts. Research needs have shifted since CIPHER’s launch in 2012, with a greater emphasis on operational and implementation science and optimal, feasible and acceptable strategies and interventions for children and adolescents across the HIV cascade. New and better data are required to accelerate the introduction of innovations, overcome existing implementation challenges, and inform the development of normative guidance that will set the standard of care for children around the world. Particular efforts must be focused on generating targeted evidence that improves HIV programme implementation through a better understanding of what works for children and adolescents.

To improve our understanding of what works for children, this year the CIPHER Grant Programme will focus on operational science in paediatric HIV and aim to fill critical knowledge gaps that impede paediatric HIV diagnosis, treatment and service delivery in resource-limited settings.

CIPHER Grant Programme – 2018-2019 Round

CIPHER is proud to launch a new round of research grants for mentored early-stage investigators to advance operational science in paediatric HIV and fill critical knowledge gaps identified in the Global Research Agenda for Paediatric HIV.

Awards will be funded for up to two years and for up to US$ 150’000 (including direct research costs and applicable indirect costs). Second-year funding is contingent upon demonstration of satisfactory progress during year one. The CIPHER Grant Programme encourages collaborations between different study sites and institutions; at least 80% of the direct grant expenses have to be spent in LMICs.

Eligibility

Any individual with the skills, formal education and access to resources necessary to carry out the proposed research is welcome to submit an application for the CIPHER Grant Programme. The principal investigator (PI) is encouraged to work with a mentor and his/her institutional colleagues and partners to develop the research plan.

The PI must be an early-stage investigator who obtained her/his terminal research degree (e.g., PhD, MD, MBBS or equivalent) less than 10 years before the application deadline.

The PI must serve for the first time as primary PI. Primary PIs who previously received a non-training research grant exceeding US$30,000 are not eligible.

Founded in 1988, the IAS is the world’s largest association of HIV professionals, with members from more than 180 countries working on all fronts of the global AIDS response. Together, we advocate and drive urgent action to reduce the global impact of HIV.

The IAS is the steward of the world’s two most prestigious HIV conferences – the International AIDS Conference and the IAS Conference on HIV Science. These conferences have established a gold-standard meeting that convenes the world’s top scientists, civil society members and policymakers to jointly discuss the fight against HIV.

We promote and invest in HIV advocacy and research on key issue areas through our strategic programmes, initiatives, and campaigns that advocate for urgent action to reduce the global impact of HIV, including increased investment in HIV cure research; optimizing treatment and care for infants, children and adolescents with HIV in resource-limited settings; preventing and treating HIV-related co-infections; and expanding access to prevention, treatment and care for key populations at higher risk for HIV – such as men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, sex workers and transgender individuals – including protecting their human rights by combatting punitive laws and discriminatory policies.

Near-term activities could include: reviewing incidence and PrEP uptake data to increase understanding of and sustain dialogue around the impact of prevention modalities on vaccine development; assessing available resources and developing an integrated product development education programme.

2. Preparing for Success. Tackle priorities essential to clarifying the roadmap for future access to a vaccine by clarifying regulatory and access pathways, and devising new business models for late-stage product development. Near-term activities could include: engaging efficacy-stage programmes to define common access planning challenges; convening stakeholders to discuss ideas for catalyzing new funding models.

3. Expanding Resources & Engagement. Enlist a diverse community of partners to support and contribute to the field by strengthening political commitment and encouraging new investment, and diversifying engagement to build a more connected field.

Mentors: Are you working with a promising young investigator in paediatric or adolescent HIV clinical research?

Junior investigators: Are you the next young leader in paediatric and adolescent HIV clinical research in sub-Saharan Africa?

The Collaborative Initiative for Paediatric HIV Education and Research (CIPHER) is proud to launch a new round of the Growing the Leaders of Tomorrow Fellowship Programme which aims to contribute to strengthened HIV clinical research capacity in high-burden countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) by providing two-year research fellowships to eligible Mentor-Fellow pairs to fill critical knowledge gaps in paediatric and adolescent HIV diagnosis, treatment and service delivery.

Background

When top-tier publications and guidelines in paediatric HIV are mapped out, there is a clear disconnect between where the majority of international leaders are from (mainly from well-resourced countries) and the geography of the epidemic, particularly SSA where the majority of treating physicians work. There is a recognition that support is needed to develop young leaders in paediatric and adolescent HIV clinical research, especially in developing countries. The CIPHER Fellowship Programme seeks to contribute to the success of emerging paediatric and adolescent HIV investigators in SSA by providing participants a chance to work with internationally renowned mentors on a research project that will develop their skills and place them in a stronger position to apply for subsequent intermediate level fellowship grants.

In 2017, CIPHER partnered with World Health Organization to conduct a global study on what evidence is most needed to reach an AIDS-free generation by 2030. The result was the development of the Global Research Agendas for Paediatric and Adolescent HIV, which provide guidance and aim to focus research efforts. In order to be eligible, applications to the CIPHER Fellowship Programme must focus on one of the eligible research priorities outlined in the Call for Applications.

How it works

Mentor-fellow pairs submit an application together; a full mentorship and capacity-building plan must be submitted. The Fellowship provides a stipend for the fellow to work on a funded research project led by the mentor, travel support to present results and publication fees. The research project must address one of the eligible research gaps outlined in the Call for Applications. Awards are funded up to US$70,000 for two years. Fellows must apply for at least one intermediate level research grant during their fellowship.

Selected fellows are awarded at IAS 2019, and receive travel support to attend the IAS/IAC for the duration of their fellowship.

Eligibility

Mentor-Fellow pairs must fulfill the eligibility criteria at the time of application in order to be eligible to apply.

Mentors:

· Must be an Associate or Full Professor or Chief/Principal Research Officer with an established position at a research institute in sub-Saharan Africa.

· Must be able to demonstrate that they are the principal investigator of the proposed research project that the fellow will be contributing to.

Fellows:

· Must be a Junior investigator from sub-Saharan Africa with a doctoral degree (PhD) or doctor of medicine degree (MD) obtained within the past 10 years and with less than 5 years of relevant research experience.

· Must hold a passport from a country in sub-Saharan Africa.

· Must be a clinical/research trainee, or have a faculty or comparable position at a sub-Saharan African academic institute or a sub-Saharan African institute whose primary mission is research.

Application

Applicants will be asked to submit an application that briefly outlines their proposed projects, including background, specific aims, preliminary data (if any) and research methodology. The Call for Applications is now available on the CIPHER website.

Applications must be submitted no later than 7 January 2019, 18:00 CET through CIPHER’s online submission system. Applications not submitted through the online system will not be accepted. Only applications in English will be considered.

Please note that a copy of the mentor’s CV and a letter of support from the applicant’s institution are required, as well as a copy of the applicant’s terminal research degree/diploma and passport. Applicants will be requested to upload these documents during the submission process.

Selection

Eligible applications will be reviewed by the CIPHER Fellowship Programme Steering Committee. Selection is based on past achievements of the Fellow and Mentor; support from the host institution; the quality of the research proposed and the mentorship plan; and the potential of the overall proposal to forward the professional development of the Fellow. Selected candidates will be notified in mid-March 2019.

Any questions may be directed to cipher@iasociety.org.

About the IAS:

The mission of the International AIDS Society (IAS) is to lead collective action on every front of the global HIV response through its membership base, scientific authority, and convening power.

Founded in 1988, the IAS is the world’s largest association of HIV professionals, with members from more than 180 countries working on all fronts of the global AIDS response. Together, we advocate and drive urgent action to reduce the global impact of HIV.

The IAS is the steward of the world’s two most prestigious HIV conferences – the International AIDS Conference and the IAS Conference on HIV Science. These conferences have established a gold-standard meeting that convenes the world’s top scientists, civil society members and policymakers to jointly discuss the fight against HIV.

We promote and invest in HIV advocacy and research on key issue areas through our strategic programmes, initiatives, and campaigns that advocate for urgent action to reduce the global impact of HIV, including increased investment in HIV cure research; optimizing treatment and care for infants, children and adolescents with HIV in resource-limited settings; preventing and treating HIV-related co-infections; and expanding access to prevention, treatment and care for key populations at higher risk for HIV – such as men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, sex workers and transgender individuals – including protecting their human rights by combatting punitive laws and discriminatory policies.
