Research Funding - Fogarty Center
The Fogarty International Center administers NIH programs that support professional development opportunities or collaborative international research. NIDA currently participates in a number of Fogarty programs:
Research Training Grants
- AIDS International Training and Research Program (AITRP) Awards support biomedical and behavioral research training in developing and transitional countries on HIV/AIDS and related tuberculosis (TB), and research on prevention of HIV infection among drug-using populations.
- International Clinical, Operational, and Health Services Research and Training Awards (ICOHRTA) support institutional training programs for collaborative, multidisciplinary, and international research in developing and transitional countries. ICOHRTA-AIDS/TB awards support training to foster collaborative, multidisciplinary research in developing and transitional countries where AIDS, TB, or both are significant problems.
- International Research Ethics Education and Curriculum Development Awards (BIOETH) support institutional grants to develop bioethics curricula on research in low- and middle-income nations.
- The International Collaborative Genetics Research Training Program (GENE) provides research training and capacity building in developing and transitional countries with an existing institutional infrastructure available to sustain advances in genetic science.
Research Grants
- The Global Research Initiative Program for New Foreign Investigators (GRIP) supports the return of NIH-trained foreign investigators to their home countries as part of a broader program to enhance the scientific research infrastructure in developing countries, and to stimulate research of high-priority global health-related issues. Former NIDA INVEST Fellows are eligible to compete for GRIP awards.
- Brain Disorders in the Developing World (BRAIN) supports collaborative research and capacity-building projects on brain disorders in developing countries.
- The Fogarty International Research Collaboration Awards (FIRCA) support collaborative research on behavioral and social sciences (FIRCA-BSS) or basic biomedical sciences (FIRCA-BB) between scientists supported by NIDA and investigators in developing and transitional countries.
- The International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups (ICBG) Program is a unique effort that addresses the interdependent issues of drug discovery, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable economic growth.
- The International Tobacco and Health Research and Capacity Building Program (TOBAC) supports transdisciplinary research on tobacco consumption in low- or middle-income nations.
- The Stigma and Global Health Research Program (STIGMA) supports interdisciplinary research on the etiology, prevention, or mitigation of stigma and related public health outcomes.
