    CIRA Pilot Projects in HIV Research

    The Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA) at Yale University supports innovative research through the Pilot Projects in HIV Research Program, which funds preliminary and feasibility studies aimed at advancing HIV prevention, treatment, and health equity. These pilot projects lay the groundwork for larger studies that evaluate novel interventions and implementation strategies in HIV-related research.

    Funding Categories

    1. CIRA-Yale Institute for Global Health (YIGH) Joint Pilot Call for research on the syndemics of HIV and noncommunicable diseases (NCD) in high-burden countries for HIV/AIDS.
    2. CIRA Pilot Research Award for research into reducing HIV inequities and/or incorporating key health justice constructs (e.g., social determinants of health, structural or systemic racism, and stigma).
    3. CIRA Community Research Pilot Award for supporting community-led research initiatives to promote equity in HIV prevention and treatment.

    By funding exploratory studies, this program helps researchers develop evidence-based approaches that address critical challenges in HIV research, policy, and practice.
