Opportunity Summary:
The Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program (D43) funding opportunity (PAR-14-193) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant program designed to build sustainable infectious disease research training capacity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Administered through the Fogarty International Center (FIC), the program supports collaborative training partnerships between U.S. institutions and LMIC institutions, with the central goal of strengthening the LMIC partner institution so it can independently conduct high-quality research on infectious diseases that are major causes of illness and death in LMIC settings. A defining feature of the program is that it explicitly excludes HIV/AIDS-focused research training and also excludes work involving select agents, directing applicants instead toward other high-burden infectious threats and related research needs.
The training focus is broad within non-HIV infectious diseases, but it is not unfocused. FIC is looking for programs that concentrate on major endemic diseases, life-threatening emerging infectious diseases, and neglected tropical diseases. It also welcomes training programs that address infections commonly seen as co-infections among people living with HIV, as long as the primary emphasis is not HIV itself. Another key priority is the intersection between infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) that matter for public health in LMICs, such as chronic conditions where infections may play a triggering, accelerating, or complicating role. In addition to new applications, the FOA allows revisions to existing GID training grants specifically to add or strengthen training for advanced LMIC postdoctoral researchers who want to study relationships between infectious disease and chronic disease conditions.
Eligibility is centered on institutions with the capacity and commitment to run a serious, research-immersive training program. Applicants may be U.S. institutions or eligible foreign institutions located in LMICs, but the training program must be collaborative and must clearly strengthen the LMIC institution. For U.S. applicants, there must be a demonstrated collaboration with the LMIC partner, supported by evidence such as joint publications, jointly held grants, or prior shared research training activities. The FOA notes that if an application proposes more than one U.S. institution and one LMIC institution as training sites, applicants are encouraged to contact the FIC scientific/research contact to discuss the structure. Country eligibility follows the World Bank LMIC classification system, and only institutions in LMICs (as defined in the FOA guidance) are eligible to apply as LMIC entities.
The sponsoring institution is expected to show clear institutional commitment. That means more than simply agreeing to participate: the institution must assure support for the program through adequate staff, facilities, and educational resources. The applicant institution should already have robust, high-quality ongoing research in the infectious disease area(s) that the training will cover. The expectation is that trainees will be embedded in active research environments, learning through participation in funded projects that align with their research interests and career goals. Program faculty are therefore anticipated to have active, funded research projects that can serve as platforms for mentored training experiences.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant program under NIH, with the funding instrument listed as a grant and the activity category listed as health. The FOA is associated with CFDA numbers 93.855 (Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research), 93.856 (Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Research), and 93.989 (International Research and Research Training). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on April 25, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 29, 2016, and an archive date of August 29, 2016, indicating the specific announcement is no longer open but remains an important reference point for how FIC structured this training mechanism.
Finally, the FOA recognizes a wide range of eligible applicant institution types on the U.S. side, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and several categories of minority-serving institutions (such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, AANAPISIs, tribal colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions). It also explicitly includes non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations) as eligible applicants, provided they are based in eligible LMICs. The full announcement was hosted on the NIH grants site, and NIH’s Office of Extramural Research provided webmaster contacts for access or linking issues.

The program emphasizes research-immersive training that is closely tied to active, ongoing infectious disease research.
Which NIH component administers the program?
The program is administered by the Fogarty International Center (FIC) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
What kinds of training programs is FIC looking for under this FOA?
FIC is looking for collaborative programs that provide serious, research-immersive training in non-HIV infectious diseases and that measurably strengthen the LMIC institution. The training focus is broad but is expected to concentrate on major endemic diseases, life-threatening emerging infectious diseases, neglected tropical diseases, and other high-burden infectious threats relevant to LMIC public health needs.
Are HIV/AIDS-focused research training programs allowed?
No. A defining feature of this FOA is that it explicitly excludes HIV/AIDS-focused research training. Programs may address infections that commonly occur as co-infections among people living with HIV, but the primary emphasis cannot be HIV itself.
Does the FOA allow work involving select agents?
No. The FOA explicitly excludes work involving select agents.
Can a training program focus on co-infections seen in people living with HIV?
Yes, as long as the program's primary emphasis is not HIV itself. The FOA welcomes training focused on other infections that may be commonly observed as co-infections among people living with HIV, provided HIV is not the central focus.
Does the FOA encourage research training at the intersection of infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases (NCDs)?
Yes. A stated priority is the intersection between infectious diseases and NCDs that matter for LMIC public health, including chronic conditions where infections may trigger, accelerate, or complicate disease processes.
Are revisions to existing grants allowed under this opportunity?
Yes. In addition to new applications, the FOA allows revisions to existing Global Infectious Disease (GID) training grants specifically to add or strengthen training for advanced LMIC postdoctoral researchers who want to study relationships between infectious disease and chronic disease conditions.
Who is eligible to apply?
Applicants may be U.S. institutions or eligible foreign institutions located in LMICs. Regardless of applicant location, the training program must be collaborative and must clearly strengthen the LMIC institution.
How is LMIC eligibility determined?
Country eligibility follows the World Bank LMIC classification system. Only institutions in LMICs (as defined in the FOA guidance) are eligible to apply as LMIC entities.
