NINR Supplement Opportunity for CFARs

Learn about a new supplement opportunity for Center for AIDS Research (CFARs) to collaborate with nursing schools or research organizations that support nursing research from the National Institute of Nursing research (NINR).

The purpose of this administrative supplement is to support innovative research on HIV-related nursing science from early stage investigators who are affiliated with nursing schools or research organizations that support nursing research. NINR intends to provide supplemental funds to CFARs to help develop collaborations between nursing schools or organizations that support nursing research affiliated with or near to CFARs. Through this award, NINR seeks to stimulate research that uses qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods and/or secondary data analysis of existing data, such as CNICS, to begin or advance a program of independent research.  Although studies involving clinical trials are not allowed, applicants can use funds to conduct substantive background activities in planning of a clinical trial.  Studies should address one of a broad range of high priority HIV-related nursing science areas including: the self-management of HIV disease and HIV-related comorbidities; understanding and managing the symptoms of HIV and HIV-related comorbidities, and; the prevention of HIV transmission. The collaborative experience is expected to produce high quality nursing science research and to foster research career advancement of these early stage investigators.

Duke CFAR is allowed to submit a maximum of one application to early stage investigators. Learn more here.
