Description

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to facilitate the design, conduct, and completion of clinical trials for improving prevention of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancers in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals. To serve this goal, the FOA will support a network of international collaborative sites conducting meritorious and appropriately designed prevention clinical trials in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region via a U54 Partnership Centers mechanism. Each proposed U54 Partnership Center must be based on a collaboration between a research institution in the United States (as the applicant institution) and partnering institution(s) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in the LAC region. The proposed clinical trials should be focused on optimizing clinical prevention interventions among HIV-infected individuals, including immunoprevention (vaccination), screening and triage, and precancer treatment. Each Partnership Center application must propose a Clinical Trials Program that will develop and conduct three prevention clinical trials within the 5-year project period. As infrastructure supporting the Clinical Trials Program, each Partnership Center should include an Administrative and Coordinating Core, a Data Management and Statistical Core, and a Central Laboratory Core. Results of the clinical trials conducted through the Partnership Centers are expected to influence the development of clinical practice guidelines to improve preventive clinical care and reduce the burden of highly preventable HPV-related cancers in HIV-infected individuals.
