Opportunity Summary:
The International Neuroscience Fellowship (INF) (F05) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant opportunity designed to support the advanced research training of qualified foreign neuroscientists and clinicians who are at the early or mid-career stage. The core purpose is to bring these researchers to a United States research environment where they can strengthen their basic, translational, or clinical neuroscience skills through hands-on work, mentorship, and immersion in a high-quality research setting. Beyond benefiting the individual fellow, the program is explicitly meant to build long-term research capacity in the fellows home institutions and countries by expanding the intellectual capital and expertise available in international neuroscience programs. NIH frames the expected outcome as fellows going on to independent and productive careers that help stimulate and expand neuroscience research globally.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was offered as a grant (FundingInstrumentType: Grant) under the broader activity category that spans education, environment, health, and income security/social services, reflecting NIHs training and health research missions. The funding opportunity number is PAR 11 106, and the opportunity was posted and created on February 3, 2011. The original and final application due date listed for this announcement was August 16, 2012, and the opportunity was archived on September 16, 2012, which indicates that this specific announcement is no longer active, although similar NIH fellowship mechanisms may exist under newer announcements.
The INF sits across several NIH-related program areas as reflected by its CFDA numbers, meaning it connects to multiple neuroscience-relevant institutes and research domains. These include 93.113 (Environmental Health), 93.173 (Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders), 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants), 93.279 (Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs), 93.853 (Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders), 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research), and 93.866 (Aging Research). Taken together, these categories signal that the fellowship could align with a wide range of neuroscience topics, from neurological disorders and brain development to mental health, addiction, aging, and sensory communication research, so long as the training plan is grounded in neuroscience and fits the fellowship’s intent.
Eligibility for applicant organizations is broad and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, small businesses, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) organizations), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The announcement also highlights additional eligible applicants such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, eligible federal agencies, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). The listing emphasizes institutional eligibility categories, while the program description makes clear the fellowship is meant for foreign neuroscientists and clinicians, so the practical structure is a U.S.-based training setting that hosts and mentors an international fellow, with the long-term goal of the fellow returning to strengthen research capacity abroad. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds.
For applicants or institutions that need the official details, NIH provided an announcement link through the NIH grants guide (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-11-106.html). NIH also listed support contacts through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster for access or linking problems, using the email address FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
