Below are Gilead’s Research Scholar Program International HIV Awardees and their research titles. As the program values diverse voices and innovative research topics to address areas of unmet medical need, you do not need to duplicate previous research topics in order to be successful for an Award.
Any basic, clinical, epidemiological, behavioural, implementation science or community-based participatory research proposal that addresses an area of unmet medical need in HIV is welcome.
