The Collaborative Initiative for Paediatric HIV Education and Research (CIPHER) of the International AIDS Society launched a new round of research grants on 3 October 2022. If you are an early-stage investigator working on paediatric and adolescent HIV, you can apply to the CIPHER Grant Programme and become the principal investigator on a research project with a grant of up to US$150,000 over two years.

The new round of grants will focus primarily on HIV research in paediatric, adolescent and mental health. CIPHER aims to support research projects that could inform HIV policies and programmes, thus accelerating the HIV response in Grantees’ countries. There is now an opportunity to learn from, adapt and enhance the innovative approaches to paediatric and adolescent HIV that have been developed during the COVID-19 response.

Application to the CIPHER Grant Programme is a two-stage process. 

Letter of Intent deadline = 31 October 2022
