It is anticipated that program faculty will have active, funded research projects in which participating trainees gain relevant experiences consistent with their research interests and goals.  Applications may be submitted by an eligible foreign institution in a low- and middle-income country (LMIC) and by an eligible domestic (U.S.) institution that demonstrate collaborations with an LMIC institution named in the application by documented joint publications, grants or previous research training activities.  Applicants are encouraged to contact the FIC Scientific/Research Contact if more than one U.S. and one LMIC institution will be proposed as training sites.    Only institutions in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC), defined by the World Bank classification system and NOT-TW-12-011 &apos;Notice of Change in Country Eligibility for Fogarty International Training Grants&apos; are eligible to apply.
Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications for the Global Infectious Disease (GID) Research Training Program from U.S. and low- and middle-income country (LMIC) institutions. The application should propose a collaborative research training program that will strengthen the capacity of an LMIC institution to conduct infectious disease (excluding HIV/AIDS and select agents). FIC will support research-training programs that focus on major endemic or life-threatening emerging infectious diseases, neglected tropical diseases, infections that frequently occur as co-infections in HIV infected individuals or infections associated with non-communicable disease conditions of public health importance in LMICs. FIC will also support revisions to existing GID research training grants to support training for LMIC advanced post-doctoral researchers to conduct research on the relationship of infectious disease to chronic disease conditions of public health importance.
