Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "International Research in Infectious Diseases, including AIDS (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-14-080) is a discretionary grant program from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) aimed at supporting investigator-initiated research projects on infectious diseases, explicitly including AIDS-related research. It uses the NIH Research Project Grant mechanism (R01), which is typically designed for substantive, hypothesis-driven studies where the applicant institution proposes a clear research plan, appropriate methods, and a capable team to carry out the work. The central purpose of the announcement is to encourage research that is directly relevant to the infectious disease priorities of the applicant's own country, meaning the proposed studies should address pathogens, transmission patterns, disease burdens, prevention strategies, diagnostics, treatments, or implementation challenges that are important to local or national public health needs.
A key feature of this FOA is that it is limited to eligible foreign organizations located in resource-constrained countries. In other words, the applicant must be a non-U.S. institution (a foreign organization or foreign institution) based in a country that NIH considers resource constrained under the terms of the announcement. The program is not open to U.S. institutions applying through a foreign component, and it also excludes non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. organizations. The announcement also specifies that foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are not allowed, reinforcing that the eligible applicant must be an independent, qualifying foreign institution rather than an overseas branch or affiliated unit of a U.S. organization. This structure is meant to ensure that funding and leadership of the research are centered in the eligible country and that the research agenda is driven by local institutions.
From a scientific scope standpoint, the announcement sits within NIH health research activity areas associated with CFDA 93.855 (Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) and 93.856 (Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Research). While the summary language in the source data is brief, the title and NIH institute alignment indicate broad coverage across infectious disease research areas, potentially spanning basic microbiology and immunology, translational studies, clinical research, epidemiology, and public health or implementation research, so long as the focus remains on infectious diseases of local importance. The inclusion of AIDS in the title highlights that HIV/AIDS-related proposals are within scope, alongside other infectious diseases that contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality in the applicant country.
Administrative details show the FOA was posted and created on January 30, 2014, with an original and final closing date of August 19, 2016, and an archive date of September 19, 2016. This means the opportunity is no longer open for new applications under that specific announcement, but it remains relevant as a reference point for how NIH has structured certain international, non-U.S.-only infectious disease funding pathways. The listed award ceiling is $625,000, which signals an upper limit on the amount that can be requested or awarded under the terms of the opportunity as summarized in the provided data. The program does not require cost sharing or matching, so applicants are not obligated to provide a specific non-federal financial contribution as a condition of eligibility.
For access and support, NIH provided an official additional information link to the full announcement text on the NIH grants website (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-14-080.html). They also listed contact guidance through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV) for technical issues related to accessing the announcement or linking problems, which suggests that questions about the electronic posting and navigation were routed through that office, while scientific and grants-management details would typically be handled through the contacts in the full FOA.
Overall, PAR-14-080 was designed to fund substantial R01-level infectious disease research led by eligible, resource-constrained, non-U.S. institutions, with a clear emphasis on addressing infectious disease issues that matter in the applicant's country and strengthening locally anchored research capacity and outcomes without requiring matching funds.
