Administrative Core

RFA-CA-13-010是一个独特的筹资机会，它挑战申请者应对撒哈拉以南非洲与艾滋病毒相关的恶性肿瘤的一些根本问题。它不仅要求研究的短期表现，而且在呼吁职业发展和研究能力建设时也要有长远的眼光。这一系列必要的活动必须通过一家美国机构和一个撒哈拉以南非洲国家之间的合作来完成，这两个国家可能相距多达10,000英里，时差为11个小时。作为对这一RFA的回应，“乌干达-加州大学旧金山分校预防和及早发现艾滋病毒相关癌症联合会”认识到每一个必要要素的重要性，并认识到手头任务的复杂性。在能力建设领域，乌干达-加州大学旧金山分校联盟将仿照美国国立卫生研究院机构K奖项目，模仿其在乌干达传染病研究所(IDI)的活动。对于所需的研究，它将实施3个复杂的项目。为了管理收集区域金融机构所需活动的复杂性，乌干达--加州大学旧金山分校联合体的行政/协调核心将： 目标1.促进联合体成员和联合体活动之间的内部沟通和协调。 目标2.领导与当地利益相关者、资助者和其他NCI联盟成员的外部互动。 目标3.为财团的职业发展和研究目标提供财务监督。 目的4.监测和评估该联合体的进展情况。 在五年供资周期结束时，预计行政/协调核心不仅满足了区域协调框架的名义要求，还将最大限度地利用我们的财政资源，并指导该财团实现其下一套能力建设和研究目标。此外，预计行政/协调核心将作为我们新出现的乌干达首席调查员的另一个基础，作为他们在研究方面培养领导技能的典范。

RFA-CA-13-010 is a unique funding opportunity that challenges applicants to respond to some of the fundamental problems concerning HIV-associated malignancies in sub-Saharan Africa. It requires not only the performance of research in the short-term but also has a long-term view in its call for career development and research capacity building. This array of required activities must be accomplished via collaboration between a U.S. institution and a sub-Saharan African country, which might be separated by as much as 10,000 miles and a time differential of 11 hours. In response to this RFA, the "Uganda-UCSF Consortium on Prevention and Early Detection of HIV-associated Cancer" recognizes the importance of each of the required elements and appreciates the complexity of the tasks at hand. In the realm of capacity building, the Uganda- UCSF Consortium will model its activities at the Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) in Uganda after the NIH institutional K award programs that are successful breeding grounds for emerging scientists in the U.S. For the required research, it will conduct 3 sophisticated projects. To manage the complexity of the collection of required activities of the RFA, the Administrative/Coordinating Core of the Uganda-UCSF Consortium will: Aim 1. Facilitate internal communication and coordination between consortium members and consortium activities. Aim 2. Lead efforts in external interactions with local stakeholders, funders, and other NCI consortium members. Aim 3. Provide financial oversight for the career development and research objectives of the consortium. Aim 4. Monitor and evaluate progress of the consortium. At the end of the 5-year funding cycle, it is anticipated that the Administrative/Coordinating Core will have not only fulfilled the nominal requirements of the RFA but will have also maximized the use of our financial resources and guided the consortium towards its next set of capacity-building and research goals. In addition, it is expected that the Administrative/Coordinating Core will serve as another substrate for our emerging Ugandan principal investigators to use as a model as they build leadership skills in research.
