Research Initiative Details

Each proposed network must develop a comprehensive research program that address questions in one topic by proposing up to three research projects, each focusing on relevant, complementary and synergistic areas of research in the proposed topic area that together will have an impact at the partnering LMIC and advance the field of science. Mechanistic clinical trial(s) will be allowed if they are hypothesis-driven studies that are trying to understand some component of the pathobiology of a cancer or a health-related outcome (no interventional trials). The research projects are to be developed and conducted as joint effort between the U.S. and LMIC investigators.

This FOA will be open to all investigators. These will be Multiple PD/PI applications, one PD/PI must be from a U.S. institution and one PD/PI from a LMIC institution. The Principal Investigators need to provide evidence that they have previously worked together.
