Foundation Awards

Pediatric HIV Vaccine Research Grants [Check back soon for solicitation]
While PMTCT programs are already reducing newborn HIV infection rates, infants born to HIV-positive mothers are still at risk for contracting HIV through breast-feeding due to the lack of a pediatric HIV vaccine. The Foundation’s Pediatric HIV Vaccine Research program provides grants for basic and pre-clinical research addressing pediatric HIV vaccine design and development.

Operations Research Grants [No open solicitations]
The Foundation is committed to improving prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV programs worldwide, but limited research exists on the effectiveness and mechanisms to improve these programs. The Foundation offers grants for such operations research, which is critical to determining the most effective ways to administer these lifesaving programs. Research findings can then be then widely disseminated to assist in global PMTCT efforts.
