Fellowships: HIV/AIDS Behavioral – F17B
The HIV/AIDS Behavioral (F17B) study section reviews HIV/AIDS fellowship applications with a behavioral focus.
This study section operates on an expedited cycle as mandated by Congress and only applications in which there is a clear and compelling HIV/AIDS research component are eligible for review in F17B. Those deemed insufficiently related to HIV/AIDS are assigned to other non-expedited fellowship study sections and must be submitted in time to meet the regular application due dates.
