Global HIV Implementation Science Research Training Fellowship

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 post-doctoral 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 in New York and 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 grant writing and manuscript preparation
Fellows build skills in grant writing and manuscript preparation through instruction, by reviewing
colleagues’ work, and by working directly with their research mentors during field placements.
➢ Stipends
Post-doctoral fellows are supported for a maximum of two years and receive a monthly stipend.
➢ Tuition, fees, and health insurance
Fellows receive funding annually for tuition and fees and funds for health insurance.
➢ 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.
Who should apply for the Global HIV Implementation Science Research Training Fellowship? We will
have an opening for one post-doctoral fellow beginning September 1, 2021. Fellows are eligible if
they have completed a doctoral program, have a record of academic and professional excellence, have
a commitment to a career in HIV implementation science research, and are U.S. citizens or permanent
