NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE
ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS
In AIDS-ASSOCIATED MALIGNANCIES
FY2009 Guidelines and Information for Applicants
(Revised 4/28/09)
PURPOSE
The National Cancer
Institute (NCI) announces for Federal fiscal year 2009 the opportunity for
grantees to seek supplemental funding for existing NCI-funded AIDS-associated
malignancy research projects to support and encourage multidisciplinary scientific collaboration among NCI grantees, as
well as with other members of the scientific community. This initiative, known as the Activities
to Promote Research Collaborations in AIDS-Associated Malignancies (APRC-AAM), can support novel collaborative
activities in research that bring together new ideas and approaches from
disparate scientific disciplines. The
proposed supplement activities should be within the overall scope of the active
parent NCI grant.
The program is anticipated to be highly competitive
with limited funding. Before
submission, all grantees must call their NCI Program Director to
discuss whether the planned collaborations are responsive.
