CHIWOS Scholar Program
In 2020, CHIWOS collaborated with the CIHR Canadian HIV Trials Network (CTN) to provide a unique funding opportunity to support training and mentorship opportunities for emerging academic scholars who are interested in building their capacity in the field of women and HIV.
The one-time CHIWOS Scholar Awards were intended as salary support for trainees at the master, doctoral, and postdoctoral levels for the 2020/2021 or 2021/2022 academic year.
