Grants
The IAS funds researchers, advocates and healthcare professionals to strengthen the response to HIV and build the leaders of tomorrow. Grant programmes contribute to personal and career development of change makers. They also drive research and advocacy strategies that inform policies and programmes.
Cure Advocacy Grant Programme
This programme, in partnership with AVAC, awards grants to selected advocacy organizations through the Advocacy-for-Cure Academy. It allows change makers to apply their learnings to their local context. Cure advocacy strategies are implemented at a local level to support HIV cure research, create translational tools and access to HIV cure information, and build advocacy networks.
