  3. NIH D-43 Application – PA-10-260 Expiration Date:  September 22, 2012 Letters of Intent Receipt Date(s): August 21, 2012, no later than 5:00pm EST Application Receipt Dates(s): September 21, 2012 Peer Review Date(s): February/March 2013 Council Review Date(s): May 2013 Earliest Anticipated Start Date: June 2013

  4. NIH D-43 Application – PA-10-260 Overall goal: The application must propose a collaborative research training program that will strengthen the capacity of institutions in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC) to conduct infectious disease (excluding HIV/AIDS) research. FIC will support research-training programs that focus on major endemic or life-threatening emerging infectious diseases, neglected tropical diseases, widespread co-infections of HIV/AIDS patients or infections associated with non-communicable disease conditions of poverty in developing countries Duration: Up to five years Research training activities should include: Basic biomedical or clinical sciences; Behavioral or social sciences Prevention research Health services Operations and implementation research Also includes sustainable research enhancing areas such as biosafety, data management, scientific writing, grant writing, statistics, good clinical practice, bioinformatics, management of intellectual property, and English as a second language (if needed).  Applicants are encouraged to maximize the use of information technology to facilitate trainee data management, access to scientific information, distance learning and collaborative scientific interaction. Applicants are encouraged to design multidisciplinary research training programs. The proposed training is expected to strengthen sustainable research capacity at the LMIC institution.  Training can take place in the U.S. or a foreign country, but training-related research should be carried out mainly in the LMIC Awards: Up to $200,000 in new awards; up to $250,000 in renewal awards (Total Direct Costs) Allowable Costs include: Stipends, tuition and fees, trainee travel, training-related expenses, salary for Senior/Key personnel, Faculty travel and Facilities and Administrative costs.

  5. NIH D-43 Application – PA-10-260 Objectives of Global Infectious Disease Research Training: To develop research training programs to strengthen the capacity to conduct infectious disease research at LMIC institutions.   To develop a cadre of research experts who can address issues of importance and are most likely to contribute to science and affect public health policy in their country; To support training-related research (degree-related or mentored research projects) that is directly relevant to the health priorities of the LMIC; To strengthen core research support capabilities of trainees at LMIC institutions that they needed to manage research and research training grants such as: expertise in ethics and compliance issues, protection for human subjects, animal welfare, fiscal management, budgeting, program and grants administration, grant and report writing, preparation of scientific manuscripts, information technologies, technology transfer and management of intellectual property, data management, and Internet connectivity. 

  6. NIH D-43 Application – PA-10-260 Eligible Training Principal Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI): An eligible Training PD/PI is any individual with the skills, knowledge, successful past training record, and available resources necessary to carry out the proposed research training program. The PD/PI should be an established researcher at the applicant institution. The PD/PI will be responsible for the selection of eligible trainees to the training grant, the overall direction, management and administration of the research training program, program evaluation, and the submission of all required forms in a timely manner.  US applicants must identify at least one scientist from each LMIC institution as the main foreign collaborator for that institution. Women, individuals from underrepresented racial, ethnic or socially disadvantaged groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support.   The PD/PI must be designated as the PD of at least one research award that is directly relevant to the research training proposed and with at least 18 months of support remaining at the time of submission of the application. 

  7. NIH D-43 Application – PA-10-260 Training Program: A Kirschstein-NRSA institutional research training grant must be used to: Support a program of full-time research training Research trainees who are also training as clinicians must devote their time to the proposed research training and must confine clinical duties to those that are an integral part of the research training experience Program may not be used to support studies leading to the M.D., D.D.S., or other clinical, health-professional training except when those studies are part of a formal combined research degree program, such as the M.D./Ph.D. Similarly, trainees may not accept NRSA support for clinical training that is part of residency training leading to clinical certification in a medical or dental specialty or subspecialty. It is permissible and encouraged, however, for clinicians to engage in NRSA-supported full-time postdoctoral research training even when that experience is creditable toward certification by a clinical specialty or subspecialty board. Short-term training is not intended, and may not be used, to support activities that would ordinarily be part of a research degree program, nor for any undergraduate-level training. Short-term positions should be requested at the time of application as described in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.  Research training programs solely for short-term research training should not apply to this announcement, but rather the separate T35 NRSA, which can be found in the NIH Training Kiosk. 

  8. NIH D-43 Application – PA-10-260 Types of Trainings (but not limited to): Long-term (master’s or doctoral degree and other training that is six months or longer) training for the full range of skills necessary to support research and research administration with the understanding that the focus of thesis and training-related research will be in their country.  Part-time long term training is permitted but should be described and justified in the application. Medium-term (three- to up to six-months) training or mentoring, including specialized clinical, laboratory, research or administrative/business skills necessary to support research that is planned or ongoing. Short-term (less than three months) training or mentoring that focuses on research methodology, laboratory skills necessary to support research  ethics and compliance issues, program and grants administration, accounting, financial management, grant writing, peer review, preparation of scientific manuscripts, data management, Internet connectivity, technology transfer,  medical informatics, and other relevant areas. Additional institutional capacity-building efforts are encouraged.  These may include, but are not limited to, in-country training workshops in advanced techniques; distance learning; and interaction with other national and regional efforts to strengthen the ability of institutions to support research and research training. Advanced in-country mentored research undertaken by the trainee in his/her home country upon completion of his/her initial period of long-term training under the program (master’s, Ph.D., post-doctoral or other long term training).
