Indigenous HIV/AIDS Research Training (IHART)

The IHART fellowship is an innovative research training program for Indigenous and other underrepresented ethnic minority (UREM) scholars. The IHART program aims to develop a network of scholars dedicated to culturally grounded research that will contribute to ameliorating health disparities among American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/AN). This fellowship aims to enhance skill development for grants, research, publications and partnerships of junior, mid- and senior-career level tribal, community and university-based scholars. Seed funding ($20,000 direct costs and $1,600 indirect costs) is provided for fellows to complete research activities, as well as technical assistance (e.g.  statistical, editorial,  grant development, and manuscript writing for publication) and other training opportunities (writing retreats, mentorship, conferences, etc.).
