The CIRA/CHIP Multi-Institutional Pilot Program is a shared investment in new collaborations, innovative research, and your next big grant. Applicants must submit a one to two page Letter of Intent via email as a Word or PDF attachment to Gai Doran (gai.doran@yale.edu) by Tuesday, March 6, 2012.
Overview
CIRA and the Center for Health, Intervention, and Prevention (CHIP) at the University of Connecticut will provide joint funding for a pilot project in HIV/AIDS prevention research that will be carried out collaboratively by CHIP and CIRA investigators. Proposed projects should be consistent with CIRA’s mission to support the conduct of research on the prevention and treatment of HIV infection and the reduction of the negative consequences of HIV disease in vulnerable and underserved populations nationally and abroad, and CHIP’s mission to advance the science of health behavior change and health risk prevention. In this round of funding, preference will be given to projects that emphasize translational/implementation research that focuses on priority populations identified in the National HIV/AIDS Strategy or research projects that address the HIV epidemic in international settings.
Implementation research is defined as the systematic study of how a specific set of activities and designed strategies are used to successfully integrate an evidence-based public health intervention within specific settings (e.g., a primary care clinic, community center, or school).
