## Abstract

In response to RFA-CA-20-001, we will create the United States-East Africa HIV-Associated Malignancy
Research Center (USEAHAMRC) for Career Development and the Prevention, Early Detection and
Efficient Linkage to Care for Virus-related Cancers. The RFA requires formation of a collaborative
partnership between one or more US institution and institutions in at least two LMICs. It challenges
applicants to conduct relevant research while also building long-term biomedical research capacity and
career development opportunities. We will create a dual purpose multi-country network to conduct
research as well as to sponsor career development activities modeled after the NIH institutional K award
program, a successful approach for junior investigators in the US. To manage the complexity of
required activities, an astute and efficient central administrative body is needed. The overarching
objective of this body will be to provide effective scientific leadership and administrative coordination.
Accordingly, the specific aims of the Administrative Core will be to:
 Aim 1. Facilitate internal communication and coordination between USEAHAMRC members
 and activities.
 Aim 2. Lead efforts in external interactions with local stakeholders, funders, and other NCI U54
 consortium members.
 Aim 3. Provide financial oversight for the research and career development objectives of the
USEAHAMRC.
 Aim 4. Convene and facilitate the External Advisory Panel
The Core will schedule regular communications, establish rigorous document organization structures,
design automated monitoring, and stimulate scientific exchange amongst all investigators (Aim 1). We
will engage policy makers at African Ministries of Health, the NCI, and other HAMRCs funded by the
RFA (Aim 2). In addition, the Core will evaluate quarterly financial reports to ensure responsible and
transparent use of monetary resources (Aim 3). Bringing together a variety of engaged and affected
community members, scientific experts, and policy officials, the Core will assemble an External Advisory
Panel, which will assist the USEAHAMRC with choosing the most relevant research questions, engage
the community, and advise on appropriate dissemination of research findings (Aim 4). At the end of the
funding period, the USEAHAMRC will have fulfilled the requirements of the RFA and be well positioned
to pursue the next phase of research and capacity-building goals. The Administrative Core will have
optimized usage of its financial resources while serving as a model for our emerging African principal
investigators to emulate as they build leadership and administrative research skills.
