Opportunity Summary:
The AIDS International Training and Research Program (AITRP) (D43) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity focused on building sustainable HIV-related research capacity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as defined by the World Bank classification system. Led by the Fogarty International Center (FIC) in collaboration with several NIH Institutes (including NCI, NIAID, NIDA, NIDCR, and NINR), the program invites both new and renewal applications that propose a structured, collaborative research training effort. The central expectation is that applicants will design a training program that meaningfully strengthens LMIC institutions and their researchers so they can independently conduct high-quality HIV-related research over the long term.
This opportunity uses the NIH D43 mechanism, which is intended for international research training and research education programs. In practical terms, that means applications should be centered on training and institutional capacity building rather than only funding a standalone research project. The proposed program is expected to be collaborative, typically involving partnerships between U.S. and non-U.S. (LMIC) institutions, and should be designed to develop skills, mentorship, research infrastructure, and career pathways that expand the LMIC institution's ability to conduct HIV research in a sustained way.
Award size, project scope, and duration are intentionally flexible because NIH expects applications to vary widely in the type of training model, the maturity of the partnering institutions, the research areas emphasized, and the number and type of trainees supported. As a result, NIH does not define a single standard award amount or set number of awards in the summary information. Instead, the total number of awards and total funds ultimately depend on the volume of applications received, the scientific and programmatic quality of those applications, and how many renewal projects are already in progress and competing for continued support.
Eligible applicants include a broad mix of organizations, reflecting the program's international and training-oriented goals. U.S.-based and non-U.S. entities can apply, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (both those with and without 501(c)(3) status, as specified). The announcement also notes additional eligibility clarifications in the full FOA text, with explicit inclusion of foreign organizations as eligible applicants. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity.
From an NIH categorization standpoint, the program sits at the intersection of education and health and is associated with multiple CFDA numbers that reflect the participating NIH components and the wide range of HIV-related research training areas that may be covered. These include international research and research training (93.989) as well as areas connected to infectious diseases and microbiology (93.856), drug abuse and addiction research (93.279), nursing research (93.361), cancer research manpower (93.398), and oral diseases and disorders research (93.121). This mix signals that AITRP-supported training programs can be multidisciplinary, spanning biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and health systems research topics as they relate to HIV and co-occurring conditions.
Administrative details in the source data identify the opportunity as Funding Opportunity Number PAR-10-219, posted June 18, 2010, with NIH listed as the agency. The record also includes archival timing information (with archive date listed as April 9, 2011) and references an original closing date of August 16, 2012, though the dataset also shows a current closing date of March 9, 2011, which suggests the listing reflects a specific snapshot in time and may have been updated or archived; applicants would typically confirm deadlines and status in the full announcement. The full FOA is linked through the NIH grants guide, and NIH provides contact support through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for access or linking issues.
