Developing Research Capacity in Africa for Studies on HIV-Associated Malignancies (D43) RFA-CA-09-016
Program Summary
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity announcement (FOA) is to strengthen research capacity in HIV-associated malignancies in sub-Saharan Africa. This FOA solicits applications for strategic, collaborative cancer research training programs based on partnerships between United States (U.S.) and African researchers. These training programs are expected to build multidisciplinary research teams of African investigators, including physicians, other clinical scientists, basic research scientists, epidemiologists, pathologists, data managers and other required personnel. It is anticipated that the creation of these teams will strategically enhance the capacity for innovative research in HIV-associated malignancies at institutions in Africa. As a long-term goal (beyond the scope of this FOA), the NCI envisions that the training programs will allow African teams of scientists to become fully efficient and productive as partners with investigators from developed countries in future research endeavors oriented on HIV-associated malignancies in sub-Saharan Africa. In line with this goal, research training programs proposed in response to this FOA must be strongly oriented on facilitating future hypothesis driven studies in HIV-associated malignancies that could compete for support from other funding sources.
The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the number of applications, the scope of the training and significance of the research goals, with a maximum of $500,000 in direct costs per year, per application for a total period of three years.
UIC is restricted to one application.
