The NIH-funded CFAR Adelante Research Capacity Program is now accepting concept proposal submissions for its 2025-2027 funding cycle. Concept proposals are due by December 2, 2024, at 10:59PM CT.
Adelante – meaning forward or onward in Spanish – is funded by the NIH/NIMHD and managed by the Center for AIDS Research at Emory University in collaboration with the District of Columbia CFAR. Through this program, the NIH strives to promote the mentored development of early career investigators who focus on HIV prevention, treatment, and care in Latina/o/x (Latinx) and/or Hispanic communities in the United States. The CFAR Adelante Program also aims to address the HIV epidemic in this population by strengthening the capacity of Latinx-serving community-based organizations to participate in and lead HIV-oriented research.
The CFAR Adelante Program supports two-year, academic-community partnered research projects led by an Adelante team: a scholar (early career HIV investigator), a CFAR-affiliated mentor, and a collaborating partner project representative who is from a community-based organization that serves Hispanic and/or Latinx populations. Adelante teams should be supportive, diverse, and interdisciplinary. Proposed research should be community-based and reflect local Hispanic and/or Latinx community needs, as identified by science and the local community.
Applicants may request up to $125,000 in direct costs per year ($250,000 over two years) plus applicable indirect costs.
