NIH/FIC Grant Announcement
Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program (D43),
PAR-14-193
The NIH has
announced the following call for applications on Global Infectious Disease
Research Training Program. Fogarty International Center (FIC) will support innovative research training programs that are designed to build
sustainable infectious disease research capacity at an institution in an
endemic low to medium-income country (Thailand is a medium-income country). Sustainable research capacity requires a critical mass of
scientists and health research professionals with in-depth scientific expertise
and complementary skills that enable the institution to conduct independent,
internationally-recognized infectious disease research relevant to the health
priorities of their country.
Purpose:
This
Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications for the
Global Infectious Disease (GID) Research Training Program from U.S. and low-
and middle-income country (LMIC) institutions. The application should
propose a collaborative research training program that will strengthen the
capacity of an LMIC institution to conduct infectious disease (excluding
HIV/AIDS and select agents). FIC will support research-training programs that
focus on major endemic or life-threatening emerging infectious diseases, neglected
tropical diseases, infections that frequently occur as co-infections in HIV
infected individuals or infections associated with non-communicable disease
conditions of public health importance in LMICs.
