The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is offering this non-competitive grant to continue supporting the AIDS and Cancer Specimen Resource (ACSR). This grant is for ensuring the ongoing operation of an international repository vital for HIV and HIV-associated malignancy research. The ACSR provides a diverse collection of specimens from various global regions, genetic backgrounds, and disease eras, sourced from people with HIV, at-risk individuals, and controls from clinical trials and observational studies. It prospectively curates valuable specimens in the USA, sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America, making them available to the research community at no cost. Additionally, the ACSR serves as the primary Biorepository for the NCI-funded AIDS Malignancy Consortium (AMC), supporting its domestic and international biorepositories.

| Description: | Through this non-competitive single source cooperative agreement Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) solicits an application from (—–institute name—–) with the intent of funding a single award to continue to support the AIDS and Cancer Specimen Resource (ACSR). This is a reissue of RFA-CA-18-012. The ACSRs mission is to address the specimen needs of clinician and basic researchers in HIV and HIV-associated malignancy research. The ACSR is an international repository with specimens that reflect different eras of the epidemic (notably pre-cART and post-cART), different regions of the world, and people of diverse genetic backgrounds with different environmental exposures. Specimens have been obtained from people with HIV (PWH), people at risk for acquiring HIV, and HIV-uninfected controls. Specimens have been obtained from participants in clinical trials, observational cohort studies, or other research studies conducted by HIV investigators and consortium. The ACSR uses informed approaches to prospectively curate specimens in the USA, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America that will be most valuable for the research community. Specimens and associated data are made available to the research community-at-large at NO COST. A second key role of the ACSR, is to serve as the AMC Biorepository for the AIDS Malignancy Consortium (AMC). The AMC is an NCI funded, multicenter clinical trials cooperative group that performs clinical trials research in the treatment and prevention of HIV-associated malignancies. The ACSR is currently providing support for domestic (two), sub-Saharan African, and Latin American biorepositories for the AMC. |
