The Developmental Core of the HNRC has two components, a developmental grants program and a mentored investigator program. The Core is lead by two investigators with considerable experience in training, Ian Everall, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry at UCSD and Stuart Lipton, M.D., Ph.D., Director of the Neurodegenerative Diseases Center of the Burnham Institute.
The Director of the Core, Dr. Ian Everall, comes to the HNRC from the University of London (UK) where he had extensive experience in training young scientists and clinicians. In his role as Director of the UCSD Psychiatry Outpatient Services, Dr. Everall was awarded an R25 training grant through NIMH and has since established a psychiatry research residency training program at UCSD.
The Co-Director of the Core, Dr. Lipton, served as Core Director in the previous funding period, overseeing 16 developmental awards and mentoring of 90 students, postdocs and junior investigators. He was also P.I. of the NIH Developmental Neurology Training Grant at Harvard Medical School. He mentored over 100 individuals in that program and a similar one at the Burnham Institute, many of whom have gone on to senior faculty positions in Neurology, Psychiatry, Neurosurgery and Ophthalmology departments around the country.

In addition to the Developmental Core programs, the HNRC offers an Interdisciplinary Research Fellowship in NeuroAIDS (IRFN), which provides training and mentoring to trainees in clinical disciplines who are interested becoming neuroAIDS researchers.
IRFN fellows can have access to the Scripps NeuroAIDS Preclinical Studies (SNAPS) at the Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), the Del E. Webb Center for Neurosciences and Aging at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (BIMR) as well as HNRC resources.
Candidates should discuss their interest in the IRFN with their director of clinical training and contact the IRFN by March of the academic year for which they are applying.
