The applications can focus on any area of science including bioethics research related to HIV/AIDS.

The OAR and NIH–sponsored Centers for AIDS Research (CFARs), in collaboration with the International AIDS Society (IAS), are sponsoring a special research initiative targeting early-stage and junior level scientists who are not currently involved in AIDS research to consider applying their expertise to some aspect of AIDS-related research. This program will provide funding to non-Federal Government employees for creative and novel AIDS research projects. Projects selected for funding would be provided up to $150,000 (direct costs) plus applicable indirect costs per year for 1-2 years.

The announcement for this initiative is provided below. The Request for applications for this initiative can be accessed on www.cnihr.org <http://www.cnihr.org> . We would appreciate your providing this to your colleagues who are responsible for research and training programs and portfolios outside of AIDS research. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance.

Dear Colleagues,

We want to alert you to the publication of a Request for Information (RFI) for developing an H3Africa Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) research program. The RFI will allow us to gather information on the existing capacity in Africa to perform research on the ELSI issues in genetics and genomics research. Please visit this webpage to access the RFI - http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-RM-12-014.html. We ask that you forward this message to your colleges especially those who are in fields such as ethics, philosophy and other humanities or social sciences.

Thank you for considering our request,

The H3Africa Team
