Description
The Developmental and Mentorship Core (DMC) of the NY-New Jersey Center for Actionable NeuroHIV Biomarkers and Integrated Omics (NYJ-CAN-BIO) aims to cultivate future neuroHIV biomedical scientists and advance scientific research. Led by Dr. Tricia Burdo and Dr. Teresa Milner, the DMC provides pilot and voucher funding, mentorship, and professional development to support interdisciplinary research using multi-omics and organoid models for biomarker discovery and validation. Key features include biannual pilot awards, small voucher awards, team-based mentoring, grant development clinics, proposal pre-review, NeuroHIV Symposium, and networking series. The program prioritizes early-stage investigators and researchers new to neuroHIV, linking funding to milestones and emphasizing progress. The DMC supports structured mentoring activities, leveraging institutional and NIH resources, with metrics including grant submissions, funding success, publications, and mentorship engagement. The initiative aims to fill gaps in neuroHIV training, expand the research workforce, and promote innovation.
