People with HIV now often live long enough to develop the chronic conditions, coinfections and comorbidities that come with age and long-term infection — and HIV changes how those conditions behave. This award pays for research into that intersection, structured as a personal award to one early-career investigator rather than a project grant to a team.

The DP2 mechanism behind it is NICHD's versi

A DP2 award funding one early-career investigator's research into HIV-related chronic conditions, coinfections and comorbidities — pathology that differs by HIV status and concentrates in pediatric and maternal populations — in scientific directions distinct from NICHD's existing portfolio and aligned with Office of AIDS Research priorities, open to investigators moving in from mathematics, engineering, computer science or AI.
