Description
This opportunity from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) supports collaborative international research projects designed to advance biomedical and health-related research through funded partnerships between domestic (U.S.-based) prime organizations and foreign institutions. The program is structured to ensure NIH oversight and direct funding for both domestic and foreign components, enabling robust, secure, and productive international collaborations. Projects must align with the scientific missions of one or more NIH Institutes, Centers, or Offices (ICOs), and must include at least one international subproject that leverages unique resources, populations, or expertise not readily available in the United States. Applications are evaluated holistically, with special attention to the value and relevance of the international components.
