PROJECT AND MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING OFFICE - CIPHER Grant Programme 2022/2023
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.

Edctp Fellow Awarded Wellcome Leap Grant For Tb Research
EDCTP Career Development Fellow Dr Virginie Rozot, a research officer at the South African Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative (SATVI), has been awarded a multi‑year contract under Wellcome Leap’s Delta Tissue (∆T) programme. Her research will investigate how the human immune system responds to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the thoracic lymph nodes, and why these responses sometimes fail, allowing the bacteria to spread to other organs. The findings are expected to inform future TB vaccine design and vaccination strategies.
