Opportunity Summary:
The Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program (D43) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity run through the Fogarty International Center (FIC) that supports collaborative research training programs aimed at building long-term infectious disease research capacity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as defined by the World Bank classification system. The central idea is not simply to fund a single research project, but to strengthen institutions and develop skilled researchers by creating structured training activities and partnerships that help LMIC institutions conduct high-quality, locally relevant infectious disease research. A key boundary of this program is that it focuses on infectious diseases excluding HIV/AIDS as a primary topic, although it does allow training that addresses infections that commonly occur as co-infections in people with HIV/AIDS or infections that intersect with other poverty-related health conditions.
In terms of technical scope, the program emphasizes training connected to major endemic diseases and serious emerging infectious disease threats, as well as neglected tropical diseases and other infections that contribute substantially to illness and death in developing-country settings. The opportunity also highlights infections associated with non-communicable disease conditions of poverty, reflecting a broader global health perspective where infectious and chronic conditions can overlap. The announcement points applicants to the FIC Strategic Plan and the broader U.S. Global Health Initiative as contextual guides for priority areas, signaling that proposed training programs should align with widely recognized global health and capacity-building goals rather than operate as isolated academic exercises.
Funding is provided through the NIH D43 mechanism, which is a research training grant mechanism commonly used for international research training and capacity development. Because programs can differ widely in design, intensity, trainee numbers, and geographic or institutional needs, the announcement makes clear that award size and project duration are expected to vary from one application to another. Rather than guaranteeing a fixed number of awards or a fixed budget per award, NIH indicates that final awards will depend on the quantity and quality of applications received, the proposed timelines and costs, and overall funding availability. For this specific opportunity, the estimated total funding listed is $1,200,000, but the actual distribution across awards is not specified in the summary and is described as contingent.
Eligible applicants span a broad range of organizations. U.S.-based eligible institutions include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (including both those with 501(c)(3) status and those without it, as described in the eligibility language). Importantly, foreign organizations are also eligible, meaning non-U.S. entities can apply, which fits the program goal of strengthening LMIC institutional capacity and supporting equitable international partnerships. The program is categorized as a discretionary grant in the health area, under CFDA 93.989 (International Research and Research Training), and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number PAR-10-260 and the title Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program (D43). The opportunity was posted on August 13, 2010, with a later current closing date listed as May 21, 2013, and an archive date of June 22, 2013, indicating this specific announcement is no longer active but remains useful as a reference for the structure and expectations of similar Fogarty training opportunities. The full announcement was hosted on the NIH grants site, and the contact listed for access or technical issues is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster.
