Each year, the HIV Research Trust offers international scholarships to physicians, nurses, scientists and other health care professionals in resource-poor settings working in the field of HIV infection. The Trust supports early/mid career researchers (from doctoral students to group leader level) to travel to other centers to acquire skills necessary to conduct their research more effectively when they return to their home institution. The Scholarships provide support for travel, living expenses including accommodation and may provide support for laboratory expenses at the institution to be visited. The application deadline is 11 October 2013.
Study Subject (s): The HIV Research Trust aims to support a broad mix of disciplines. All aspects of research related to HIV infection and its consequences are eligible including clinical care, basic and applied biology, epidemiology, psychological ethical, economic, educational and societal aspects. All areas of research related to HIV are supported including laboratory methods, epidemiology, clinical and therapeutic research and research into psychological, social, nursing and other aspects of daily care of patients.
Course Level: The Trust supports early/mid career researchers (from doctoral students to group leader level) to travel to other centers to acquire skills necessary to conduct their research more effectively when they return to their home institution.
Scholarship Provider: The HIV Research Trust

Eligibility: The HIV Research Trust is a charitable foundation that provides financial support to physicians, nurses, scientists and other health care professionals in resource-poor settings working in the field of HIV infection.

Scholarship Description: The HIV Research Trust is a charitable foundation that provides financial support to physicians, nurses, scientists and other health care professionals in resource-poor settings working in the field of HIV infection. The support is in the form of Scholarships which are usually for a few months’ duration and cover travel, living expenses and consumables. The Scholarships are awarded competitively based on a peer-review process on an annual basis. They are designed to enable the candidate to travel to another research unit to learn skills and techniques which should develop the candidate’s career and, on return to the home institution, add to the capacity of the department to carry out research related to treatment and prevention. Examples of skills and techniques that may be acquired are; clinical management; clinical trial experience and practice, data and trial management; statistical expertise; acquisition of laboratory techniques and analyses; cell and molecular biology. The HIV Research Trust aims to support a broad mix of disciplines. All aspects of research related to HIV infection and its consequences are eligible including clinical care, basic and applied biology, epidemiology, psychological ethical, economic, educational and societal aspects.
Duration of award(s): The usual period of support is 2-6 months but exceptional support for one year may be given.
What does it cover?  The Scholarships provide support for travel, living expenses including accommodation, and may provide support for laboratory expenses at the institution to be visited. The preference is for applicants to receive training in recognized centers in other resource-poor countries but travel to other areas is not excluded. The maximum sum awarded is a £10,000 or equivalent value.
Selection Criteria: Complete applications are assessed independently and judged by the quality of the proposal with respect to the science, the training to be received and the value of the program to the home institution. Once this assessment has been made the successful scholars are chosen.
Notification: This selection is completed by the second half of December with successful Scholars being informed by the first or second week of January the following year at the latest.
How to Apply: The mode of applying is online.
Scholarship Application Deadline: The application deadline is 11 October 2013.
