Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program Award
---------------------------------------------------------
Fogarty International Center (FIC)

PA NUMBER: PA-03-012
http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-03-012.html

Letter of Intent: December 20, 2002; December 20, 2003; December 20, 2004 
Application Deadline: January 24, 2003; January 23, 2004; January 24, 2005

The purpose of this announcement is to invite applications from eli-
gible institutions to train or expand the capabilities of scientists 
and health professionals from developing countries to engage in in-
fectious diseases research and training not related directly to 
HIV/AIDS. Proposals are requested for innovative, collaborative re-
search-training programs that would contribute to the long-term goal 
of building sustainable research capacity in relevant infectious dis-
eases at developing country institutions. The intent is to harness 
scientific knowledge and skills to enhance prevention, treatment and 
control of infectious diseases causing major morbidity and mortality 
in endemic countries.

Previously, the Fogarty International Center (FIC) has supported sev-
eral individual research-training programs for non-HIV/AIDS infec-
tious diseases with major impact in developing countries through pe-
riodic Requests for Applications (RFAs). These RFA-based programs in-
cluded International Training and Research in Emerging Infectious 
Diseases (ITREID); Actions for Building Capacity in Support of Inter-
national Centers for Infectious Disease Research (ABC/ICIDR); Tuber-
culosis International Training and Research; and International Ma-
laria Research Training. The FIC will now consolidate and standardize 
the requirements for all the non-HIV/AIDS infectious disease re-
search-training programs under this program announcement (PA). Com-
petitive renewal applications for awards made in each of the individ-
ual programs mentioned above, as well as new applications, may be 
submitted in response to this announcement. Developing country insti-
tutions may also apply for one-year planning grants to support the 
development of research training proposals. In addition, ongoing in-
fectious disease research training awardees may apply for competing 
supplements to their award to expand their activities.
