Infrastructure Development Training Programs for Critical HIV Research at LMICs Institutions

Deadline: 22-Jul-22

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced the applications for Infrastructure Development Training Programs for Critical HIV Research at LMICs Institutions.

The overall goal of the Fogarty HIV Research Training (HIVRT) Program is to strengthen the scientific capacity of institutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to conduct HIV research related to the evolving HIV epidemic in their country.

This FOA provides opportunities for a U.S. or LMIC institution to collaborate with their partners to fill gaps in a particular research infrastructure function that will strengthen the HIV research capacity at the proposed LMIC institution by training LMIC scientists and staff at the LMIC institution(s) to support those functions. The resulting strengthened infrastructure should allow these institutions to be more responsive to research needs at the institution(s) and enhance their capacity to obtain funds from and collaborate with the NIH, U.S. Government, other donors, and LMICs in their HIV/AIDS efforts.
