The UCLA AIDS Institute is now accepting applications for the following:
AIDS Related Malignancies Research
The UCLA AIDS Institute, the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and the National Cancer Institute are accepting applications for seed grants to fund multidisciplinary collaborative research between cancer and AIDS investigators on topics relevant to cancers that occur frequently in HIV-infected patients, including AIDS defining and non-AIDS defining malignancies. This includes research will lead to the development of novel diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic strategies for both AIDS-defining and non-AIDS-defining malignancies, as well as research on the molecular/cellular mechanism, pathogenesis or epidemiology of cancer in persons living with HIV infection. Proposals from junior investigators (professorial or research series titles) are especially encouraged. Funds are being made available in conjunction with a supplement to the Cancer Center grant for sites having connections with the AIDS Malignancy Consortium (AMC), and from NCI-funded supplements to the UCLA CFAR and Cancer Center. Projects showing connection with the AMC, as well as those from junior investigators, will be given preferential priority in funding. Note: Projects proposing to study only virologic aspects of cancer-associated viruses (i.e. KSHV, EBV, etc.) will not be supported by this mechanism.
