The Third Coast HIV-related Cardiovascular and Sleep Disorders K12 Career Development Program (TC-CS K12) is a collaboration between the University of Chicago and Northwestern University that provides an interdisciplinary pathway to academic productivity for the next generation of physician and non-physician junior faculty scientists. The ultimate objective of our program is to identify, inspire, and support the development of independent, NHLBI-funded investigators in HIV research with strong and broad methodological and conceptual skills as well as collaboration expertise/enthusiasm.

February 2020 Request for Applications: The TC-CS K12 program has issued separate RFAs for investigators based at Northwestern University or the University of Chicago. Applications are due February 28, 2020. Please refer to the RFA for your institution for details about the K12 scholars program and the appropriate point of contact.
