Opportunity Summary:
The Limited Competition Planning Grant for the Fogarty HIV Research Training Program for Low and Middle Income Country Institutions (D71) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity designed to help eligible institutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) get ready to compete for a larger HIV research training award. The core idea is capacity building: strengthening HIV research training infrastructure, mentorship, and program design within LMIC institutions so they can develop sustainable research training programs that address local and regional HIV-related priorities. Rather than directly funding a full training program, this D71 mechanism funds the planning work needed to assemble a strong, compliant, and competitive future application.
This planning grant is specifically meant to support the development of all major components that would later be required for a full Fogarty HIV Research Training Program application under the D43 funding opportunity announcement (referenced as PAR-12-068). Applicants are expected to use the planning period to map out the training program structure and strategy, including how trainees will be recruited and selected, what the curriculum and mentored research experiences will look like, how faculty and mentors will be engaged and supported, how research ethics and responsible conduct will be incorporated, and how the program will track outcomes and evaluate success over time. A key expectation is that the planning grant results in a well-developed D43 application package, not simply general discussions about training needs.
Eligibility is limited and targeted. Foreign institutions (non-U.S. entities) are eligible to apply, and the emphasis is on LMIC institutions. At the same time, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply, and foreign components (as NIH defines them in its Grants Policy Statement) are not allowed. In practice, this means the applicant organization should be a stand-alone non-U.S. institution that is positioned to lead HIV research training locally, rather than a satellite or foreign component of a U.S.-based organization. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for institutions with limited discretionary resources.
Administratively, the opportunity is a discretionary grant in the NIH health funding area, tied to CFDA numbers 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants) and 93.989 (International Research and Research Training). The award ceiling listed for this planning grant is $28,000, signaling that the grant is intended for focused planning activities rather than large-scale implementation. The funding opportunity number is PAR-12-070, and it was posted on December 22, 2011. The record indicates it is archived (archive date May 25, 2013), with key dates shown including an original closing date of July 24, 2014 and a current closing date entry of April 25, 2013, reflecting that this is no longer an active opportunity and is provided for historical reference.
Overall, this FOA is best understood as a structured on-ramp for LMIC institutions that want to build or formalize HIV research training programs and need dedicated time and modest resources to design the program rigorously in line with Fogarty and NIH expectations. A successful D71 plan would typically culminate in concrete deliverables such as a finalized training program framework, defined trainee pathways, mentorship and supervision plans, institutional commitments, partnerships (where appropriate), evaluation metrics, and a clear timeline and workplan that directly feeds into a subsequent D43 submission.
