The UCLA CFAR will be submitting a proposal for renewal of the CFAR for a 7th round of 5-year funding by NIH. We are beginning the process now for preparing the proposal, which is due to NIH in July 2017. Please note, we anticipate that USC will be joining UCLA in this application, and that if/once the two institutions sign the appropriate agreements, the CFAR will be renamed the Los Angeles CFAR. This RFA will be made available to both sites and we invite applications for ...New and Re-competing Cores from both sites. In some instances, a Core may be significantly stronger by interaction at both sitesplease consider this as you are developing your proposals. At this point, we are inviting Concept Proposals for New and Re-competing Cores. The overall CFAR recompetition is expected to be particularly competitive this year and as such, this RFA is also a competitive application, and there are no guarantees with respect to final core inclusion or core leadership positions. It is important to think about how to improve upon what has been done in the past to align the CFAR with NIH’s new priority areas. Jan 30, 2017: Concept proposal submission deadline Information can be found on the UCLA CFAR website http://aidsinstitute.ucla.edu/cfar.
