Tram Receives the 2024 CFAR New Investigator Award
Posted: 4/16/2025 (CSDE Research)
CSDE Affiliate Khai Hoan Tram (Infectious Disease, UW Medicine) recently won the UW/Fred Hutch Center for AIDS Research’s 2024 CFAR New Investigator Award! The purpose of this award is to encourage early-stage investigators (at a senior stage of training or recently independent) to conduct independent research, acquire preliminary data to use for subsequent grant submissions, publish, receive mentorship, and write one or more grants to obtain funding to continue their HIV research careers. Dr. Tram’s research uses the tools of epidemiology, geospatial analysis, and infectious diseases modeling to inform data-driven, precision public health interventions against the TB and HIV epidemics. Over the past few years, Dr. Tram’s research program has centered on studying the relationship between human mobility and infectious disease transmission. The collaboration leading to Dr. Tram’s CFAR award initially started with a CSDE Population Research Planning Grant that funded a research planning trip to South Africa in 2023. Congratulations on receiving this award Dr. Tram and we look forward to learning more about your research!
