The Center for Global Health (CGH) at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks to promote clinical research studies on pediatric Burkitt Lymphoma (BL) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through collaborations and research partnerships between NCI-designated Cancer Centers and partner institutions
in LMICs.
Through this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), the NCI will provide administrative supplement awards to currently funded P30 NCI-designated Cancer Center grants to support pilot research projects on pediatric BL.
These partnerships between NCI-designated Cancer Centers and institutions in LMICs are expected to improve diagnosis and treatment strategies to alleviate pediatric BL burden in LMICs.
It is expected that the pilot research projects funded by these administrative supplements would support the clinical research needs for treatment of BL in the region.
