Epstein Barr Virus P30 grant: a new collaborative effort between the Ohio State James Cancer Center, GOHi and Addis Ababa University
|
National Cancer Institute (NCI) P30 grants promote HIV malignancy research through the support of collaborative pilot projects between NCI-designated cancer centers, such as the James Cancer Center, and low and middle income countries.
The Ohio State P30 grant is a multi-center collaborative effort between the Ohio State Comprehensive Cancer Center (OSU-CCC) and Addis Ababa University (AAU) and is an extension of the ongoing work between the two sites.
This P30 project strengthens collaboration in the field of cancer prevention in underserved, HIV-positive minority populations.
Through this program, Ohio State faculty and staff travelled to Addis Ababa in July to teach, train and collaborate with AAU colleagues. The Ohio State team provided viral oncology lectures and hands-on laboratory trainings to ensure consistent research practices and expand skill sets for future research strategies. The Ohio State team was also able to meet with key partners and discuss additional opportunities for further collaborations in cancer research and prevention.
