HIV Research Trust | About The Trust


	The International Congress on Drug Therapy in HIV Infection was set up in 1992. The Scientific Committee decided that unspent funds should be transferred to a charity whose remit was to support researchers in resource-poor countries in obtaining further training and expertise in developing their research programmes. The HIV Research Trust (HIVRT) was established and Trustees were appointed to oversee the allocation of the funding by competitive Scholarships open to researchers in all specialities concerned with HIV infection. The HIVRT has worked in partnership with the International Aids Society (IAS) in advertising the Scholarships and in their administration. The HIV Research Trust aims to support a broad mix of disciplines. The Scholarships are for physicians, nurses, scientists, and other health care professionals in resource poor settings. The award should develop a candidate’s career and, on return to the home institution, add to the capacity of the department to carry out research related to treatment and prevention. Examples of acquired skills might be; clinical trial experience, good clinical trial practice, data and trial management, acquisition of laboratory techniques and analyses, trial nurse skills, statistical expertise, aspects of ethics, economics, education and health behaviour.
