Grant Name: Co-infection and Cancer (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Grant Description: This grant initiative aims to enhance our understanding of infection-related cancers, with a specific focus on the role of co-infection in cancer etiology. The grant seeks to prioritize co-infections that offer unique opportunities for prevention and treatment and target populations that have been understudied. Co-infection is defined as the simultaneous or sequential occurrence of infections by two or more infectious agents, including viruses, bacteria, parasites, and other microorganisms. However, co-infection with HIV is excluded from this grant initiative.
