International Research Ethics Education and Curriculum Development Award (PAR-19-244)

Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) Number PAR-19-244

The over-arching goal of this R25 program is to support educational activities that foster a better understanding of biomedical, behavioral and clinical research and its implications.
  • Courses for Skills Development
  • Mentoring Activities
  • Curriculum or Methods Development
The goal of this initiative is to support educational activities that foster a better understanding of the ethics of international biomedical, behavioral and clinical research and enhance the application of research ethics principles in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This program aims to increase the number of LMIC research intensive institutions that can provide advanced education in international research ethics.

Program Overview

This joint National Institutes of Health (NIH) - National Science Foundation (NSF) initiative supports efforts to understand the underlying ecological and biological mechanisms that govern relationships between human-induced environmental changes and the emergence and transmission of infectious diseases. The highly interdisciplinary research projects funded under this program apply both ecological and biomedical methods, and study how environmental events such as habitat alteration, biological invasion, climate change, and pollution alter the risks of emergence and transmission of viral, parasitic, and bacterial diseases in humans and other animals. Projects are encouraged to consider how integrated environmental and biomedical approaches to infectious diseases may enhance our ability to predict and control them.

  • Foreign institutions in LMICs may also apply.
  • Applicant institution must have robust and high-quality research ongoing in the area(s) proposed.
Eligibility: Planning Grant for Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program (D71)
  • Applicants may only be submitted by foreign institutions in LMICs, as defined by the World Bank Classification system .

Program Overview

The Global Infectious Disease (GID) program addresses research training needs related to infectious diseases that are predominantly endemic in or impact upon people living in developing countries. The training programs include a variety of research training options to match the needs of the developing country institution. The ultimate goal is to build a critical mass of researchers and support staff to conduct independent infectious disease research in developing country institutions.
