Opportunity Summary:
The Limited Competition Fogarty HIV Research Training Program for Low and Middle Income Country Institutions (D43) (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-126) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant opportunity designed to build durable HIV research training capacity within eligible low- and middle-income country (LMIC) institutions. The central aim is not simply to support individual projects, but to develop and strengthen the scientific leadership, technical expertise, and research training systems needed for high-quality, locally driven HIV-related research in LMIC settings. In practice, this means supporting structured research training programs that help cultivate the next generation of investigators and reinforce institutional ability to plan, conduct, and sustain HIV research that is relevant to local and regional health priorities.
This opportunity uses the NIH D43 mechanism, which is part of NIH's international research training portfolio and is typically associated with comprehensive training programs that may include didactic coursework, mentored research experiences, career development support, and activities that improve the research environment at the applicant institution. The program emphasis is on strengthening scientific leadership and expertise, which signals an expectation that awardees will produce measurable improvements in research skills, mentorship capacity, and the institutional infrastructure required to support HIV research training over time. While the short description does not list specific scientific topics, the framing indicates eligibility for training efforts that contribute to HIV-related research broadly, including areas that often intersect with mental health, substance use, and cancer in HIV-affected populations, consistent with the multiple CFDA program areas associated with the announcement.
The FOA is categorized under Education and Health funding activities and is offered as a grant rather than a contract or cooperative agreement. The listed award ceiling is $282,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier for participating institutions and helps focus resources on training activities and program development rather than on securing institutional match funds. The announcement was posted on April 25, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 30, 2015, and an archive date of August 30, 2015, indicating it is a historical opportunity that was available for applications during that window.
Eligibility is broad but clearly structured to prioritize institutions capable of leading training programs, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The announcement also specifies additional eligible applicant types such as faith-based or community-based organizations, Hispanic-serving institutions, historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), and Indian/Native American tribal governments (other than federally recognized). Critically, non-U.S. entities are eligible to apply, including foreign organizations and foreign institutions, aligning with the FOA's explicit focus on LMIC institutions. At the same time, it restricts eligibility by noting that non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply, which helps ensure the primary applicant and lead institution are appropriately positioned under NIH policy for this specific limited-competition training mechanism. The FOA also notes that foreign components (as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement) are allowed, which typically means collaborations or certain project elements may occur abroad under defined terms even when the applicant organization is eligible in its own right.
Administratively, the opportunity is offered by the NIH and is associated with several CFDA numbers (93.242, 93.279, 93.398, and 93.989), reflecting NIH programmatic areas that may support or align with HIV-related training and research capacity building across comorbidities and related research domains. For applicants or interested parties seeking the full announcement details, the FOA points to the NIH grants guide page for PAR-13-126. The provided contacts are NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) web support addresses for assistance accessing or linking to the announcement, which suggests the contact information in the summary is primarily for technical issues rather than scientific or programmatic questions.
Overall, PAR-13-126 is best understood as a capacity-building research training grant opportunity aimed at strengthening LMIC institutional leadership and expertise in HIV-related research through structured, programmatic training efforts, with funding support up to $282,000 and no matching requirement, open to a range of eligible higher education and qualified organizational applicants including foreign institutions.
