MEET OUR YOUNG INVESTIGATOR PILOT AWARD RECIPIENTS!
The ACSR is committed to supporting the next generation of HIV researchers by offering a grant award program for early-stage investigators interested in conducting HIV-related research, especially for malignancies. The goal is to encourage novel and rigorous scientific research projects that utilize biospecimens and data in the ACSR inventory via a small grant funding mechanism and contribute toward greater understanding of HIV disease, biology, improved treatment, and discovery of a cure. See below to learn more about our YOUNG INVESTIGATOR PILOT AWARD (YIPA) opportunities as well as our past and current awardees.

Other Funding Opportunities
National Institutes of Health (NIH) Funding Opportunity Announcements
- Catalyst Award for Early-Stage Investigators (ESIs) Pursuing Research on HIV Comorbidities, Coinfections, and Complications (DP1- Clinical Trial Optional): PAR-23-024. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) supports research from creative early stage investigators who propose highly innovative, pioneering studies with potential to open new areas in HIV/AIDS research related to coinfections, comorbidities, and complications. Earliest submission date: April 01, 2023. Expiration date: May 2, 2025.
- Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Administrative Supplements to Study the Economics of Cancer Control in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs): NOT-CA-23-052. The purpose of this Notice is to encourage currently funded NCI extramural investigators to apply for administrative supplements to study cancer control and prevention in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) settings using economic or costing data and methods. Expiration date: May 31, 2023.
- Basic/Translational Research on Health Disparities in Underrepresented People Living with HIV (PLWH) and Cancer (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed): RFA-CA-22-056. Through this funding opportunity announcement, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to focus on the biological interactions of cancer health disparities in people living with HIV (PLWH) from underrepresented minority groups through basic mechanistic or translational studies to investigate how HIV interacts with health disparities to promote both non-AIDS and AIDS-defining cancer initiation, progression, and the resulting pathogenic disease sequelae. Expiration date: December 16, 2023.
- Basic/Translational Research on Health Disparities in Underrepresented People Living with HIV (PLWH) and Cancer (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed): RFA-CA-22-057. Through this funding opportunity announcement, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to focus on the biological interactions of cancer health disparities in people living with HIV (PLWH) from underrepresented minority groups through basic mechanistic or translational studies to investigate how HIV interacts with health disparities to promote both non-AIDS and AIDS-defining cancer initiation, progression, and the resulting pathogenic disease sequelae. Expiration date: December 16, 2023.
- The role of Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin disease (HD) development with or without an underlying HIV infection (U01 Clinical Trial Optional): PAR-21-348. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) focuses on the role of EBV infection on Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin disease (HD) development with or without an underlying HIV infection. The goal is to increase our knowledge through mechanistic, epidemiological, or translational studies that examine how EBV promotes NHL or HD initiation, progression, and the resulting disease sequelae and to provide insights into mechanistic differences in the relationship between EBV infection and lymphomagenesis in HIV+ versus HIV- persons. Research project U01s funded through this PAR will form a cooperative group, the Epstein Barr Virus associated Lymphoma Consortium (EALC). Expiration date: December 16, 2023.
- Implementation Science for Cancer Control in People Living with HIV in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (U01 Clinical Trial Optional): RFA-CA-23-033. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) solicits applications that will identify, understand, and develop strategies to address barriers to the adoption, integration, and sustainability of evidence-based cancer control interventions among PLWH in LMICs and generate data in LMICs that can inform effective and equitable implementation of evidence-based cancer control for PLWH worldwide. Expiration date: December 16, 2023.
- Notice of Intent to Publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement for Translational Research Toward Development of a Kaposi Sarcoma Herpesvirus (KSHV) Vaccine (U01 Clinical Trial Optional): NOT-CA-23-067 The National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to promote a new initiative by publishing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications to expand the research scope and leverage the gains made through the “Investigation of the Transmission of KSHV” initiatives (RFA-CA-18-013 and RFA-CA-20-046) to support basic and translational research that will guide the development of a prophylactic or therapeutic Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) vaccine. Estimated Publication Date of Notice of Funding Opportunity: October 02, 2023. First Estimated Application Due Date: December 14, 2023
