Description:
The purpose of this initiative is to stimulate research that will improve our understanding of the biological basis of development and progression of cancer in the context of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) or acquired immune suppression not associated with HIV infection such as organ transplantation. The NCI and NIDCR seek to encourage novel approaches to discovery and preclinical development of novel therapeutic agents and biomarkers for early diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression. Molecular epidemiologic studies of the role of chronic latent viruses and their interaction with one another or with environmental factors in the context of acquired immune suppression or HIV infection leading to the development of tumors or lesions with oncogenic potential are also of interest. This PA will use the NIH exploratory/development (R21) award mechanism and the NIH investigator-initiated research project grants (R0!
1) award mechanism. Please see the link at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-03-041.html for the NIH policy on submitting revised applications . It is anticipated that 2 million in total costs will be awarded in the first year to fund 8 12 applications.
