International Research Collaborations:
Funding
opportunities NIH and beyond
The Fogarty International Center of the NIH has a variety of
research and training programs focused on fostering
international biomedical research
collaborations, enhancing ongoing U.S. based research programs, addressing
specific
biomedical research areas of critical international importance and increasing the research
capacity of
developing countries. You may get all current information, downloadable
applications and application instructions
from the NIH/FIC web site: http://www.fic.nih.gov/
You will find there the Fogarty International Research
collaborative Awards (FIRCA) and the AIDS- FIRCA
along with a number of other grant,
Fellowship and Training programs in AIDS, malaria, emerging diseases,
population and
health, environmental health, ecology and infectious disease, biodiversity, maternal and
child
health, tuberculosis, training for minority students in international research and
more. To find all information
associated with a program of interest, including
instructions on filling out the application, click on "special
instructions" for
each announcement.
Applications may be obtained from any U.S. University's office of
sponsored programs or may be downloaded
from the NIH web site
(Grant Application Form PHS
398 is now available on the Web at
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.html )
You may also send your email request for application
forms to GrantsInfo@nih.gov. There will be a 2-4 week
delivery delay for them to mail
documents.
FIRCA:
To apply for a FIRCA a U.S. scientist (in a non-profit institution)
with an active NIH grant must be the FIRCA P.I.
The foreign collaborator may be senior or
junior but should be clearly capable of conducting independent research
and generally
should have a staff position in their home institution.
For the regular FIRCA the foreign collaborator should be from a
developing country (as described in the program
announcement), or from Russia, Independent
States of the former Soviet Union, or Central/Eastern Europe. The
AIDS-FIRCA has no
regional limitations. The U.S. P.I. should obtain the application forms and fill them out
with
the foreign collaborator's input.
Note: Intramural NIH scientists may be involved as collaborators on a
FIRCA but may not, at this time, submit as
the P.I.
Identifying Collaborators and Other Funding Options:
U.S. scientists with NIH grants are listed in the NIH CRISP
system which includes information on all grants that
NIH is funding or has funded in the
past. It also includes information on NIH intramural research. It is available on
the NIH
web site. You can reach the site by going to: http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/
OR you may also go to
http://www.nih.gov and click on
FUNDING at the top. Then click on GRANTS PAGE. You will be in the
Office of Extramural
research where you will see CRISP on the left side-bar. Click on it. You may search on
any
topic to get lists of researchers with grants in that area. You may also specify Institute
(e.g. John E. Fogarty
International Center or National Cancer Institute) or grantee
Institution. If you specify
John E.Fogarty Center you will get all the grants that we fund at FIC. If you would like to know
which foreign countries
are involved on specific grants please contact Dr. Kathleen
Michels for that information at FIRCA@NIH.GOV and
give her the grant number and principal
investigator.
Other Funding Opportunities through NIH:
R01 applications from foreign investigators:
In addition to the Fogarty opportunities, NIH will accept R01
applications from foreign investigators. The CRISP
system can be used to identify
institutes funding the type of research a foreign investigator is interested in. In
addition,
each NIH Institute has an international representative who may be of help.
Contact the Institute directly for the name
of the international representative (start at http://www.nih.gov and find the appropriate institute).
You may also find regional information from around the world on the FIC
web site under our Fogarty's International
Relations division:
http://www.fic.nih.gov/programs/regional/index.htm
Other International Funding Options:
*Howard Hughes Medical Institute (http://www.hhmi.org).They
fund a variety of types of research in the U.S.
and abroad.

You may also
want to add your name to the GrantsNet e-mail update list when you visit the site - it
contains useful
funding and other information.
