Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "International Research in Infectious Diseases, including AIDS (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-11-145) is a limited-competition grant program from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). It supports investigator-initiated research projects using the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism, with a focus on infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS, that are important to the applicant country. In practical terms, the program is designed to strengthen and enable high-quality infectious disease research led by institutions based in eligible foreign, resource-constrained settings, where the research questions are closely tied to local public health priorities and disease burdens.
The opportunity falls under NIH discretionary funding and is categorized in the health funding activity area. It is associated with CFDA numbers 93.855 (Allergy, Immunology and Transplantation Research) and 93.856 (Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Research), which signals that NIAID is looking for research aligned with its broader mission in immunology, microbial pathogenesis, infectious disease biology, prevention, and related translational or clinical work. While the summary description is brief, the title and NIAID scope imply that proposed projects could span a wide range of infectious disease topics, potentially including basic, clinical, epidemiological, and implementation-oriented research, as long as the work is scientifically rigorous and clearly relevant to the infectious disease challenges faced by the country where the applicant institution is located.
Eligibility is tightly defined. Applications are restricted to non-U.S. (foreign) organizations located in eligible foreign countries, with an emphasis on resource-constrained entities. Importantly, foreign components of U.S. organizations are explicitly not allowed, meaning a U.S. institution cannot apply through its overseas branch or affiliate to access this particular FOA. This structure underscores the intent of the program: to fund and empower independent, locally based research institutions rather than extensions of U.S.-based applicants. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute a specified portion of project costs from non-federal sources as a condition of award.
Key timeline details show that the FOA was posted and created on March 11, 2011, with an original and final application closing date of August 23, 2013. The announcement was archived on September 23, 2013, meaning it is no longer active for new submissions, but it remains relevant as a reference point for the type of international infectious disease research NIAID has sought to stimulate through targeted limited competitions.
For applicants or readers seeking the full official announcement, NIH provided an additional information link to the archived FOA page (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-11-145.html). NIH also listed support contacts through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for technical access or linking issues (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV), reflecting standard NIH practice for assisting users who cannot retrieve the full posting online.
