ICAP
What is the Global HIV Implementation Science Research Training Fellowship?
With support from the NIH (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases), ICAP at Columbia University has established the Global HIV Implementation Science Research Training Fellowship to prepare individuals for careers as independently-funded researchers and for leadership in global HIV implementation research. This fellowship is part of ICAP’s Next Generation Program, a multidisciplinary training initiative that provides students with hands-on training opportunities globally.
What does the Global HIV Implementation Science Research Training Fellowship offer?
➢ Mentoring and research support Fellows are matched with research mentors from a diverse pool of program faculty to advise them as they pursue domestic or international research projects related to HIV implementation science.
➢ Didactic coursework in epidemiology and implementation science Fellows engage in streamlined coursework based on an individualized training plan, developed in conjunction with the training coordinator and their research mentors.
➢ Networking Weekly faculty-fellow seminars provide opportunities for fellows to interact with HIV researchers and trainees from a variety of disciplines and research settings.
➢ Assistance with manuscript preparation and grant writing Fellows build skills in manuscript preparation and grant writing through instruction, by reviewing colleagues’ work, and by working directly with their research mentors during field placements.
➢ Stipends Pre- and post-doctoral fellows receive stipend payments in accordance with NIH and Columbia University guidelines.
➢ Tuition, fees, health insurance, and childcare cost reimbursement Fellows receive funding annually for tuition and fees, health insurance and applicable childcare costs
➢ Funds for travel and training-related expenses Fellows receive an allowance for travel to a scientific meeting or field placement, with additional funds available to support research activities as needed.
