Description
A primary objective of CIRA is to train the next generation of HIV/AIDS scientists. In order to accomplish this goal, CIRA established the NIMH HIV Prevention Interdisciplinary Training Program in 1999. This program began training Pre-Doctoral students in conjunction with the Yale School of Public Health for 2004.
Through these Fellowships, new scientists are equipped with the skills to advance prevention research and to address future challenges of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and other emerging diseases. This Training Program prepares Fellows to think critically, and to address issues common between HIV and other diseases, such as barriers to and facilitators of behavioral change and understanding the public health response required to stem an epidemic.
This HIV Prevention Training Program is unique in providing:
- An interdisciplinary approach
- A focus on vulnerable and underserved populations
- A strong methodological foundation
- Opportunities to conduct ethically-sound, community based research, domestically and internationally
- Emphasis on legal, policy, and ethical analysis of HIV prevention science
- Opportunities to work on both descriptive and intervention studies, studying individuals, families, social networks, communities, and society at large
Through the HIV Prevention Interdisciplinary Training Program, CIRA supports 2-3 Pre-Doctoral Fellows (tuition & stipend). Fellows complete formal coursework, qualifying examinations, and the doctoral dissertation in the Yale School of Public Health. Yale University will award the Ph.D. upon successful completion of the program.
Fellows will be exposed to interdisciplinary HIV prevention through:
- Research preceptorship and collaboration in ongoing research
- Training in research methods and ethics
- Optional coursework
- CIRA and HIV-related seminars and colloquia
- Special events
- Participation in all aspects of CIRA
We seek to increase the number of women and minority scientists in the field of HIV prevention research.
To be eligible applicants must be US citizens, non-citizen nationals, or permanent residents.
