This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications for a planning grant from institutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to design a Global Infectious Disease (GID) Research Training Program in collaboration with U. S. institutions.
The application should propose
a collaborative process to design a training program that will strengthen the capacity of the LMIC institution to conduct infectious disease research.
Planning grants should describe a detailed vision for a research-training program that focuses on a major endemic or life-threatening emerging infectious disease, neglected tropical disease, infections that frequently occur as a co-infection in HIV infected individuals or infections associated with non-communicable disease conditions of public health importance in LMICs.
