Fogarty HIV Research Training Program for Low-and Middle-Income Country Institutions (D43 Clinical Trial Optional)

The Fogarty HIV Research Training Program for Low-and Middle-Income Country Institutions is offering a funding opportunity (D43 Clinical Trial Optional) aimed at strengthening the ability of institutions in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) to execute relevant HIV research. The main aim is to encourage these institutions to create research training initiatives that address the current HIV epidemic in their respective countries.

The funding opportunity can be used to support a wide array of HIV research areas, such as prevention, treatment, care, and quality of life. This includes different disciplines like basic sciences, epidemiology, clinical, behavioral and social sciences, community-based, implementation, operations, health services, and health systems research. The proposal can also cover cross-disciplinary research and studies regarding HIV comorbidities and coinfections that affect the HIV epidemic.

Applicants are encouraged to design their proposed training programs to bolster research capacities in specific high-priority HIV scientific domains that align with NIH HIV/AIDS research priorities (NOT-OD-20-018). These initiatives should be based in selected LMIC institutions and partnered with collaborating LMIC institutions.
