AIDS Institute Seed Grants

Each year the Institute provides funds to support specific projects, the work of particular labs, and to cover part or all of the salaries of newly recruited faculty members. Funds are allocated from several sources, including the AIDS Institute, UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, NIH and private donors.

Previous Awardees


UCLA AIDS Institute / UCLA CHIPTS / UCLA Pediatric AIDS Coalition are now accepting applications for the following:

Funds for the Charity Treks RFA have been diverted to COVID-19 research and will not be available at this time.

Charity Treks: Basic, Clinical and Translational Research in HIV Prevention and Cure
The UCLA AIDS Institute is accepting applications for seed grants to fund basic and clinical pilot research studies relevant to HIV vaccine and Cure research including basic and translational immunology and virology projects relevant to prophylactic and therapeutic vaccine research and development, and novel strategies for HIV Cure research. The grants will be funded by the UCLA AIDS Institute, through proceeds from Charity Treks (http://www.charitytreks.org).

Pediatric HIV Research
The UCLA AIDS Institute is accepting applications for seed grants to fund basic and clinical pilot research studies relevant to pediatric HIV infection. The grants will be funded by the Pediatric AIDS Coalition at UCLA, through proceeds from the annual Dance Marathon. http://pediatricaidscoalition.org.

HIV and Substance Use
The UCLA AIDS Institute and UCLA Center for HIV Identification, Prevention and Treatment Services (CHIPTS) are accepting Letters of Intent for novel seed grant proposals relevant to understanding the biology of HIV and substance use or substance use disorders (SUD). Examples of competitive research topics include studies that integrate behavioral factors (e.g., drug exposure levels, psychiatric symptoms, environmental exposures) that correspond with links between substances and their effects on microbiome, inflammation, gut-brain axis, epigenetics (especially gene expression), extracellular vesicles, and HIV transmission dynamics. The range of biological and behavioral data are available at this website: http://themstudy.org/for-researchers/data-collected/.

Funding will facilitate development of preliminary data that will be leveraged for future submissions of collaborative R01 or program project grants. These seed grants will be funded by the UCLA AIDS Institute and other private sources.

Deadline for receipt of Letters of Intent:  June 1, 2020
Applicants whose Letters of Intents are favorably reviewed will be invited to submit a formal proposal. Formal proposals will then be due on August 10, 2020.
