Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program (D43 Clinical Trial Optional)

National Institutes of Health

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages joint applications for the Global Infectious Disease (GID) Research Training programs from low- and middle-income country (LMIC) and U.S. institutions. The application should propose a collaborative training program that will strengthen the capacity of a LMIC institution to conduct infectious disease research (not including HIV/AIDS). FIC will support research training programs that focus on 1) major endemic or life-threatening emerging infectious diseases, 2) neglected tropical diseases, 3) infections that frequently occur as co-infections in HIV infected individuals or 4) infections or microbiomes associated with non-communicable disease conditions of public health importance in LMICs.Advanced scientific training related to prevention, treatment or public health approaches to any technical area of basic, epidemiological, clinical, behavioral or social science health research may be supported. Research training programs should incorporate didactic, mentored research and professional development skills components to prepare individuals for sustainable careers that will have significant impact on the priority health research needs of LMICs.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) allows appointment of Trainees (D43) proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial; or proposing a separate ancillary clinical trial; or proposing to gain research experience in a clinical trial led by another investigator, as part of their research and career development.

Eligibility Requirements

The sponsoring institution must assure support for the proposed program. Appropriate institutional commitment to the program includes the provision of adequate staff, facilities, and educational resources that can contribute to the planned program.

The applicant institution must have a strong and high-quality research program in the area(s) proposed under this NOFO and must have the requisite faculty, staff, potential trainees and facilities on site to conduct the proposed institutional program documented by active research grants and recent relevant research publications. In many cases, it is anticipated that the proposed program will complement other ongoing research training occurring at the applicant institution and that a substantial number of program faculty will have active research projects in which participating trainees may gain relevant experiences consistent with their research interests and goals.

Applications may be submitted by an eligible foreign institution in a LMIC with a collaborating U.S. institution or by an eligible U.S. institution that demonstrates ongoing collaborations with a LMIC institution named in the application. Evidence of collaboration may be documented by joint publications, research grants or previous research training activities. Applicants are encouraged to contact the FIC Scientific/Research Contact if more than one U.S. and one LMIC institution will be proposed as training sites.

LMICs are defined by the World Bank classification system (according to Gross National Income (GNI) per capita as "low-income," "lower-middle-income," and "upper-middle-income" ( http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-classifications/country-and-lending-groups ). See Notice of Change in Country Eligibility for Fogarty International Training Grants and Country Eligibility (NOT-TW-12-011) ( https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-TW-12-011.html ) for definition of “ eligible LMIC" .

The PD/PI should be an established investigator in the scientific area in which the application is targeted and capable of providing both administrative and scientific leadership to the development and implementation of the proposed program. The PD/PI will be responsible for overseeing the process for the selection of trainees to the research training program, and for the overall direction, management, administration, and evaluation of the program. The PD/PI will be expected to monitor and assess the program and submit all documents and reports as required. The PD/PI has responsibility for the day to day administration of the program and is responsible for appointing members of the Advisory Committee and using their recommendations to determine the appropriate allotment of funds.

Collaborator Requirements: Proposed research training programs should be based on equitable and trusted collaboration. The PD/PI should have research and research training experience in the LMIC which is the focus of the application. PD/PIs proposed by non-U.S. institutions must be permanent residents of eligible LMICs (to be verified by the applicant institution). LMIC applicants must identify at least one U.S. scientist and U.S. applicants must identify at least one LMIC scientist with expertise in the infectious disease focus area of the proposed research training program from the proposed collaborating U.S./LMIC institution as the main collaborator for coordinating training program activities at that site. Due to the collaborative nature of this program, applicants are encouraged to designate the main collaborator who meets the research grant eligibility requirement as a Multiple PD/PI.

Research Grant Requirement: Each PD/PI must be designated as the PD/PI of at least one research award that is directly relevant to the scientific focus of the research training proposed and with at least 18 months of support remaining at the time of submission of the application.
