Who Should Be Nominated
Applicants for the Lawrence Linn Grant may include SGIM members (both associates and full members), students, degree candidates, fellows, or faculty members who are early in their research careers. The grant is open to a wide variety of research projects with the potential to improve the lives and healthcare of individuals living with HIV/AIDS. Appropriate research projects might include studies on the quality of HIV/AIDS care, accessibility to healthcare services, analyses of the quality of life measures and determinants, patient perspectives on care and life experiences, the cost-effectiveness of various HIV treatments and other interventions, studies on adherence to antiretroviral therapies and evaluations of interventions to improve adherence, and a broad range of clinical epidemiological studies on HIV/AIDS, potentially focusing on aspects like disease severity, survival rates, or prognostic measures.

Background
