Funding Strategy: Fiscal Year 2009On this page:IntroductionFogarty International Center (FIC) distributes its resources among many programs and mechanisms. FIC is committed to funding the largest number of meritorious projects possible, while allowing the flexibility needed to support selected program priorities and to respond to emerging scientific opportunities. The Center establishes general guidelines for funding based on the overall FIC appropriation, allowing for necessary adjustments throughout the year to reflect directives from Congress, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as emerging program priorities. During the course of any given fiscal year, multiple factors could affect the implementation of the FIC funding strategy. Please check the FIC website http://www.fic.nih.gov/ for periodic updates. Budget DataAppropriations FIC is currently able to budget approximately $50.2 million for grant awards during the CR. These funds are apportioned between our anticipated competing awards of approximately $15 million and previously established funding commitments of approximately $34.3 million of our continuing non-competing awards. Success Rate and Funding Decisions Research and Research Training Funding GuidelinesNon-Competing Awards (Type5) New and Competing Awards Unfunded Applications Competing Grants issued with Significant Budget Reductions Research Funding OpportunitiesFIC uses two methods to solicit applications for research and research training awards: Requests for Applications (RFAs) and Program Announcements (PAs). In the past, RFAs have covered topics such as tobacco, HIV/AIDS, malaria, emerging infectious diseases, population and health, environmental and occupational health, ecology of infectious disease, biodiversity, international research in bioethics, and informatics training. FIC employs a variety of funding mechanisms to meet programmatic objectives. Current funding mechanisms, and related active program announcements, include:

Top of pageStrategy for New InvestigatorsFIC is committed to providing opportunities for new investigators to engage in international research and training activities. The predominant focus of the current FIC programs is on the training of new and upcoming foreign investigators to compete in and contribute to efforts addressing global health research priorities. In order to augment these efforts, FIC has developed a research program, called Global Research Initiative Program for New Foreign Investigators (GRIP), which concentrates on establishing research capacity for new investigators in their home countries. FIC has also made a change to its long-standing Fogarty International Research Collaboration Award (FIRCA) program. Foreign collaborators are now allowed to apply for a competing continuation grant after the first competitive segment has been awarded. Additionally, FIC has converted many of its on-going programs to the Program Announcement (PA) format. This will allow new investigators the opportunity to compete annually as well as submit amended applications for FIC awards.
