Opportunity Summary:
The Global Infectious Disease Research Administration Development Award for Low and Middle Income Country Institutions (G11) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity (PAR 15-131) designed to strengthen research grant administration capacity at research institutions located in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Rather than funding scientific experiments directly, this program focuses on the people and systems that manage NIH-supported research. The central aim is to support advanced training for senior research administrators so they can more effectively manage NIH grants, oversee funded projects, and ensure that their institutions meet NIH policies and U.S. federal research funding requirements. In practical terms, the award is meant to improve the quality of oversight for National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) grants held by foreign institutions, reducing compliance risks and improving stewardship of public research funds.
This opportunity falls under the discretionary grant category and supports activities tied to health research administration, specifically in areas connected to allergy, infectious diseases, and microbiology and infectious diseases (CFDA numbers 93.855 and 93.856). The sponsor agency is NIH, with the program’s emphasis aligned with NIAID’s global infectious disease research investments. The award does not require cost sharing or matching, which can make it more accessible to institutions that may have limited ability to contribute additional funds.
Eligibility is limited to non-U.S. entities, meaning foreign organizations are the intended applicants, and the target institutions are those operating in LMIC settings. The FOA encourages applications from institutions that already manage or expect to manage NIH/NIAID awards and want to professionalize and strengthen their internal grants management, compliance, and oversight capabilities. The overall rationale is capacity building: by investing in well-trained senior administrators, NIH expects institutions to improve performance in areas such as financial management, reporting, grants policy adherence, and institutional governance related to sponsored research.
The administrative details for this FOA reflect that it was posted and created on March 4, 2015, with an original and final closing date of July 14, 2017, and an archive date of August 14, 2017, indicating the opportunity is no longer active. The maximum award amount listed is $100,000, suggesting the grant is structured as a relatively focused capacity-development investment rather than a large-scale institutional infrastructure program. Applicants and interested parties were directed to the full announcement on the NIH grants website, and NIH’s Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact information was provided for technical issues accessing or linking to the announcement.
In summary, the G11 award under PAR 15-131 was a targeted NIH initiative to help LMIC research institutions build stronger NIH grant management leadership and systems, with the broader goal of improving compliance, accountability, and effective oversight for NIAID-funded research conducted outside the United States.
