POSITION: Visiting Professor Program

ORGANIZATION: UCSF-Bay Area Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) 

The Center for AIDS Prevention Studies in collaboration with the UCSF-Bay Area Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) is now accepting applications for the Visiting Professor Program. We are planning an in-person program hosted in San Francisco from Monday, June 12 through Thursday, July 20, 2023. 

This year we have two tracks to offer to program participants, funded by NIDA and NIAID. With the support from multiple institutes, the program is suitable to scientists with a broad range of research interests. While NIMH continues to support the VP program, we are not recruiting scientists for the NIMH- sponsored track this year. 

This program is designed to assist investigators interested in conducting HIV-related research that has implications for U.S. racial and ethnic minority communities to strengthen the investigators’ programs of research and obtain NIH funding. Scientists in the program have access to the expertise of a team of mentors who are successful at conducting NIH-funded research that impacts HIV-related health disparities in racial and ethnic minority communities. The program seminars aim to help Visiting Professors succeed in navigating research careers and writing NIH grants.

Program participants take part in the six-week summer program at UCSF for three consecutive summers, with mentoring and distance learning year-round. Participants are appointed and paid as Visiting Professors in the UCSF Department of Medicine during the summer program, and also receive $20,000 to support a pilot study to facilitate the completion of an R-level grant application. The first summer is particularly productive since each Visiting Professor prepares both a detailed plan for implementing their $20,000 pilot study and a full NIH grant proposal.

To date, program participants have received 135 multi-year awards from NIH, including 56 R01 awards, and another 38 awards from CDC, HRSA, NSF or SAMHSA. From all sources, Visiting Professors have been awarded over $286 million in grant funding.

The program went virtual during two years of the COVID-19 and returned to the in-person format in 2022. Upon reaching the conclusion of the summer program, the Visiting Professors strongly endorsed the in-person format. They explained that it not only is practical and effective for learning, but that it also provides the right environment for offering mutual support and building trust, enabling them to give and receive feedback in a safe space, and hold each other accountable to be present and engaged.

For more information about the program, please visit the website at https://prevention.ucsf.edu/vp.

Application Deadline: Wednesday, January 18, 2023 at 8:00 am Pacific Time.
