Research Funding Opportunity for Pediatric/Adolescent HIV/AIDS Research
Attention Investigators interested in Pediatric/Adolescent HIV/AIDS Research,
Children's Health Care of Atlanta (Children's) and the Center for AIDS Research at Emory University (CFAR) are teaming up to make seed grant funds available for research in pediatric/adolescent HIV/AIDS. (See full RFA for all deadline dates).
Why are we doing this? Because according to WHO around 720 children die every day as a result of AIDS (see report). That works out to about 30 deaths every hour … and that is 30 too many.
Furthermore, WHO estimates that, at the end of 2010, there were 3.4 million children living with HIV and not only am I'm guessing that that number has almost certainly continued to rise in the year and a half since then, I am also thinking that the prognosis is fairly bleak for all but a small percentage of the already infected.
Do you find those numbers to be overwhelming and depressing? Join the club.
No, I mean it.
Join the club!
Apply for research funding from this RFA and BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION.*
