## Abstract

ABSTRACT/PROJECT SUMMARY
The Zambia AIDS Malignancies Diagnosis and Pathogenesis Program (ZAMDAPP)'s Career Enhancement
Core will coordinate and administer the mentoring and training activities of the propose consortium. To be
successful in meeting its goal, the core will pursue four specific aims: 1) develop a peer-to-peer mentoring
program, facilitated by a team of senior researchers from the United States and Zambia, for the career
development of early career clinicians and scientists; 2) provide ZAMDAPP fellows with short-term (six-months
to a year) training in pathology, epidemiology/biostatistics, and molecular oncology in the United States to
foster the development of skills needed to conduct in-country cancer research. 3) provide in-country courses
and workshops for clinicians and public health personnel in research methodology related to epidemiology,
databases, biostatistics, laboratory techniques, and grant administration; and 4) implement a mentored-
research pilot project program to provide seed support for new, scientifically meritorious projects that result
from ZAMDAPP's training activities. The core will be administered through the Nebraska Center for Virology
(NCV), one of the nation's premier virology research and training centers with established expertise and
research strengths in HIV/AIDS and AIDS-associated cancer viruses, and the Zambia's University Teaching
Hospital and Cancer Diseases Hospital.
