Fellowships: HIV/AIDS Biological – F17A
The HIV/AIDS Biological (F17A) study section reviews HIV/AIDS fellowship applications with a biological 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 F17A. 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.
