Investigation of the Transmission of Kaposi Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Funding Opportunity RFA-CA-18-014 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of the funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to advance our understanding of the modes of transmission of Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), also called human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8); the biology of the initial steps of infection; and risk factors for infection to inform efforts to prevent KSHV transmission and thus prevent Kaposi sarcoma (KS), KSHV-associated multicentric Castleman disease (MCD), primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), and other KSHV-induced diseases in populations living with HIV or at high risk of developing HIV.
