Opportunity Summary:
The Fogarty International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Research Training Program (TRAUMA) (D43) is a U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity focused on building long-term research training capacity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Led by the Fogarty International Center (FIC) in collaboration with several major partners, including the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (CDC/NCIPC), and the World Health Organization’s violence and injury prevention and disability program area, the program invites both new and renewal applications. The central expectation is that applicants propose a collaborative research training program that strengthens LMIC institutions’ ability to conduct high-quality human trauma and injury research, using the World Bank classification system to define which countries qualify as LMICs.
This opportunity uses the NIH D43 mechanism, which is specifically designed for international research training programs. In practice, that means the award is meant to support structured training, mentorship, and institutional capacity-building rather than serving as a stand-alone research project grant. Competitive applications would typically be built around partnerships that link institutions in LMICs with experienced research and training collaborators (often, though not necessarily, including U.S.-based institutions), with a clear plan for developing researchers, establishing sustainable training pipelines, and strengthening local systems needed to design, run, analyze, and publish trauma and injury research involving human populations. The program’s thematic scope centers on trauma and injury broadly, and the involvement of NIAAA and NINDS signals particular interest in injury-related issues that intersect with alcohol use and neurological outcomes, while CDC/NCIPC and WHO involvement reflects the public health and prevention dimension of injury and violence.
Funding for this specific announcement (RFA-TW-09-002) was estimated at a total of $2,000,000 across all collaborating partners, with an anticipated nine awards. The listed award ceiling was $200,000, indicating that individual projects were expected to be relatively modest in annual budget compared to large research grants, but targeted enough to support meaningful training activities, trainee support, curriculum development, mentorship structures, and the practical components of building research capacity. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for institutions that may have limited discretionary funding.
Eligibility was broad and included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, with some distinctions noted in the full announcement). Importantly, the opportunity explicitly allowed non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations) to apply, aligning with the program’s purpose of strengthening LMIC institutional capacity. The opportunity category was discretionary, the funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category fell under health. It was posted on April 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 8, 2010, and an archive date of July 9, 2010, meaning it is a historical announcement rather than an open competition today, but still useful as a reference point for how Fogarty and partners structure trauma and injury training initiatives.
For administrative details, the announcement is associated with multiple CFDA numbers reflecting the participating agencies and topical areas: 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control), 93.273 (Alcohol Research Programs), 93.853 (Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders), and 93.989 (International Research and Research Training). The full funding announcement was hosted on the NIH grants site under the RFA link provided, and technical access questions were directed to the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact listed in the notice.
