Scholars must be within 10 years of completing a terminal degree, postdoc, or first medical residency. During the program, #scholars are paired with a mentor and an ATN study and receive funding to develop a #research question and secondary analysis to conduct.
About the ATN Scholars Program The ATN Scholars Program provides under-represented scientists with the skills, knowledge, and network to excel as independent investigators in adolescent HIV prevention. Scholars must be within 10 years of completing a terminal degree, postdoc, or first medical residency. The program provides funding to cover a portion of time and expenses for 18 months. Scholars are paired with a mentor and study to develop a research question and secondary analysis to conduct. Scholars submit at least one manuscript for publication from the mentored study and a product for dissemination to community members/participants, like an infographic or video.

The Screen2Prevent study is using a computerized survey to find youth in pediatric emergency departments who might qualify for PrEP. The HAPPY study completed 83% of the enrollment goal at the time of termination and has moved into the data analysis phase which will inform ATN 172, developing a novel HIV and pregnancy prevention medication. The ATN needs YOUth participants to join us in advancing public health. A healthier future starts with you. Follow us–stay in the loop when studies open!

Description of the CHOOSE study, hoping to break the cycle of high rates of new HIV and STI diagnoses by testing a package of digital health tools to help young men choose which type of PrEP to take, and learning who will take doxycycline for STI prevention when offered it. Study is for young men ages 13-24 who are not living with HIV. Description of the IMPACT study, combining evidence based talk therapy to treat depression with sexual health counseling to reduce HIV for young people who use stimulants during sexual activity. The LYPS study aims to improve PrEP use among youth by providing PrEP services at a location outside the clinic, like a private room in a community center. The foXXy doxy study is testing whether DoxyPEP, a common antibiotic already approved as STI prevention for men, is effective for women.

In addition to facilitating earlier treatment among those who learn they're living w/ #HIV, the ubiquity of mobile apps & modest resources needed to scale this intervention, a 25% increase in #HIVtesting among young sexual minority men, as seen in this study, could meaningfully reduce HIV incidence.
