Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Dates (Anticipated): July 2026 (Full application deadline, projected)
Funding Amounts: Not specified; typical NIH institutional training grant funding.
Summary: Supports institutional research training programs for LMIC scientists to enhance collaborative research on noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) with U.S. partners.
Key Information: This is a forecasted opportunity; exact dates and funding details may change.
Description
This initiative aims to support rigorous institutional research training programs for scientists from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), fostering collaborative research with U.S. scientists on noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), disorders, and health conditions. Programs should provide comprehensive research training, mentorship, and skills development—including data management, scientific communication, and responsible conduct of research—directly relevant to NCDs. Trainee research projects are expected to leverage existing NIH-funded collaborations in LMICs to advance understanding of NCD etiology and epidemiology in resource-limited settings. The NCD focus must align with LMIC health priorities and also be relevant to U.S. health needs, fitting within the mission of at least one participating NIH Institute, Center, or Office. Applications should highlight unique opportunities in the proposed LMIC—such as specialized resources, populations, or environmental conditions—not readily available in the U.S.
