Announcing the 2021-2022 Vu Fellowship

June 22, 2021

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2021, 5:00 PM ET. 

Vu is focusing on empowering new voices by offering three fellowship opportunities for researchers in viral hepatitis and HIV spaces. Each fellow will be awarded a $10,000 personal stipend (awarded to the individual) to conduct a research project related to HIV, Hepatitis C, or both, using data on AIDSVu and/or HepVu, along with other data sources.

Priority will be given to research proposals that address health disparities and/or relevant intersections such as syndemics, the opioid epidemic, social determinants of health, STIs, etc. We believe communities affected by these health disparities should be centered in the work we do and strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups in the HIV and Hepatitis C space.

Fellows’ research will be featured on the Vu platforms and used to further illustrate the impact of HIV and/or viral hepatitis in the U.S.

Applicants will participate in the following:

  1. Submit a brief proposal outlining a research question relevant to HIV, Hepatitis C, or both, including what AIDSVu/HepVu data you will include in your research.
  2. Prepare a manuscript for publication.
  3. When the study is published, participate in an AIDSVu or HepVu Q&A.
  4. Work with AIDSVu’s professional designers to develop infographics from your research.
  5. Participate in an AIDSVu or HepVu public webinar to discuss your findings.
  6. Submit an abstract on the research to a 2022 public health/viral hepatitis/HIV conference.

Length of fellowship: 2021-2022
