Creative and Novel Ideas in HIV Research: Call for Proposals
The purpose of the Creative and Novel Ideas in Research Awards Program (CNIHR) is to create a mechanism via the established Centers for AIDS Research (CFARs) to fund developmental projects to bring insight and new ideas from early stage investigators, some of whom will have expertise in other disciplines, to the HIV/AIDS field of study. The intent of this program is to attract both international and domestic young, early stage investigators from outside the field of HIV/AIDS research to help address new questions related to emerging issues of long-term survival with HIV infection, and the prevention of HIV transmission.

Developing Capacity for Research in Africa for Studies on HIV-Associated Malignancies
The National Cancer Institute’s AIDS Malignancy Program, in collaboration with the Fogarty International Center (FIC), announce the Request for Applications (RFA-CA-09-016) for research training grants in developing research capacity in HIV-associated malignancies in Africa.
This initiative will support innovative programs designed to train African research teams that would be ready to become partners in future international research projects. The focus of the RFA is on research-training programs that provides a variety of short-, medium- and long-term training as well as workshops and online training opportunities. Each program will be led by investigators from a U.S.-based institution (as application submitting institution) but will have to be developed jointly with an appropriate African Senior Collaborator. In this context, it is encouraged that the proposed training programs take advantage of the ongoing collaborations with African investigators.
Letters of Intent are due on November 17, 2009. The application deadline is December 17, 2009.
Additional information:Research on Malignancies in the Context of HIV/AIDS
The purpose of this initiative is to stimulate research that will improve our understanding of molecular underpinnings in the development and progression of cancer in the context of HIV infection and AIDS.

Quick-Trials for Novel Cancer Therapies and Prevention: Exploratory Grants
The Quick Trial program is designed to accelerate the translation of promising relevant advances in novel cancer treatment/prevention approaches from the laboratory into the clinical setting. Proposed clinical trials may be oriented on HIV/AIDS malignancies.
Additional information:Biomarkers of Infection-Associated Cancers
This initiative is designed to foster research to increase our knowledge of infectious agent-associated malignancies and identify those who are at increased risk of developing cancer among infected individuals and to detect early stage cancers in this population. Research projects proposed in the applications may involve a number of infectious agents showing associations with cancer. Noteworthy viral agents of interest to this program are human papillomavirus (HPV), Hepatitis B and C viruses, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and Simian Virus 40. Furthermore, an escalating prevalence of early cervical, lung, and colon cancers has emerged among HIV patients.

Centers for AIDS Research (CFARs)
The CFAR program provides administrative and shared research support to synergistically enhance and coordinate high quality AIDS research projects. CFARs accomplish this through core facilities that provide expertise, resources, and services not otherwise readily obtained through more traditional funding mechanisms. CFARs improve the institutions’ ability to carry multidisciplinary AIDS research and provide unique flexibility to respond to evolving scientific needs in AIDS research.
