Opportunity Summary:
The NIH funding opportunity PAR-13-214, titled "Limited Competition Planning Grant for Fogarty HIV Research Training Program for Low and Middle Income Country institutions (D71)," is a discretionary grant program designed to help eligible low- and middle-income country (LMIC) institutions prepare a strong, future application for a larger HIV research training award. It sits under the Fogarty HIV Research Training Program and uses the D71 planning grant mechanism, which is meant specifically for planning and developmental work rather than supporting a full, ongoing training program right away.
The central goal of this opportunity is to strengthen HIV research capacity in LMIC institutions by investing in the early, practical steps needed to build a competitive research training program. Applicants are expected to use the planning grant period to design and organize all the major components that would be required for a subsequent application to the related D43 research training program funding opportunity (PAR-13-126). In other words, this FOA is a bridge: it provides modest support to help an LMIC institution map out the training strategy, partnerships, curriculum and mentoring structures, trainee recruitment and selection approaches, research environments, administrative plans, evaluation methods, and any other essential elements that would make a full HIV research training proposal viable and well-justified.
Because the D71 planning grant is tied closely to the later D43 submission, applicants are expected to be familiar with the objectives and special requirements described in the D43 FOA and to build their planning activities around those expectations. The planning grant should therefore read like a structured roadmap toward a D43 application, showing what will be developed, who will do the work, what institutional gaps will be addressed, and how the planning process will result in a complete, high-quality training program proposal focused on HIV research capacity building.
Eligibility is limited and specific. Only foreign institutions located in countries that meet NIH Fogarty LMIC eligibility requirements may apply, and eligibility is determined using Fogarty guidance (referenced as Notice NOT-TW-12-011 regarding country eligibility updates). Non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) are eligible, but non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply, and foreign components (as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement) are not allowed under this FOA. Practically, this means the applicant organization itself must be an LMIC-based institution that meets Fogarty eligibility rules, rather than a U.S. institution operating abroad or a foreign site that is merely part of a U.S. organization.
The opportunity falls under NIH activity areas related to health, with CFDA listings that include 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants) and 93.989 (International Research and Research Training). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling listed is $28,000, signaling that this is intended to fund focused planning and proposal development work rather than program-scale training implementation.
In terms of timing and status, the FOA was posted and created on April 25, 2013. The original and final closing date was July 30, 2015, and it was archived on August 30, 2015, meaning it is no longer open for new applications under that specific announcement. The administering agency is the National Institutes of Health, and the full archived announcement was made available through the NIH Grants Guide at the provided link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-13-214.html). For access or technical issues related to the announcement, the contact listed is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) Webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
Overall, PAR-13-214 is best understood as a targeted planning mechanism for LMIC institutions that want to build or formalize an HIV research training program and need dedicated time and small-scale resources to design the full training structure before applying to the more comprehensive D43 Fogarty HIV research training grant.
FAQs: NIH PAR-13-214 (D71) Fogarty HIV Research Training Planning Grant (LMIC Institutions)
What is PAR-13-214?
PAR-13-214 is an NIH funding opportunity announcement (FOA) titled "Limited Competition Planning Grant for Fogarty HIV Research Training Program for Low and Middle Income Country institutions (D71)." It is a discretionary grant program focused on planning and developmental work to help eligible institutions prepare for a future, larger HIV research training application.
What is the purpose of this funding opportunity?
The central purpose is to strengthen HIV research capacity at eligible low- and middle-income country (LMIC) institutions by supporting the early, practical steps needed to design a competitive HIV research training program proposal.
Is this grant meant to run a full HIV research training program?
No. The D71 mechanism described here is specifically a planning grant. It is intended to support planning and proposal development activities, not to fund a full, ongoing research training program at scale.
What NIH program is this FOA associated with?
This opportunity sits under the Fogarty HIV Research Training Program.
What grant mechanism does PAR-13-214 use?
It uses the D71 planning grant mechanism, which is meant for planning and developmental work leading toward a more comprehensive training grant application.
How does PAR-13-214 relate to the D43 funding opportunity?
PAR-13-214 is positioned as a bridge to a later submission under the related D43 research training program FOA (PAR-13-126). The planning period is expected to produce a structured roadmap and the key components needed for a strong D43 application.
What is the expected outcome of the D71 planning period?
The expected outcome is a complete, high-quality plan for an HIV research training program proposal that aligns with the D43 FOA requirements, including clearly defined program components, partnerships, and administrative and evaluation approaches.
What kinds of activities are applicants expected to plan or develop during the D71 period?
Based on the FOA description, applicants are expected to design and organize major components needed for a subsequent D43 proposal. This can include planning the training strategy, partnerships, curriculum, mentoring structures, trainee recruitment and selection, research environment considerations, administrative plans, evaluation methods, and addressing institutional gaps relevant to HIV research capacity building.
Do applicants need to follow or reference the D43 FOA requirements?
Yes. Applicants are expected to be familiar with the objectives and special requirements in the D43 FOA (PAR-13-126) and to build planning activities around those expectations so the D71 reads like a structured roadmap toward the D43 application.
Who is eligible to apply for PAR-13-214?
Eligibility is limited to foreign institutions located in countries that meet NIH Fogarty LMIC eligibility requirements. The applicant organization must be an LMIC-based institution that meets Fogarty eligibility rules.
How is LMIC country eligibility determined for this FOA?
Country eligibility is determined using Fogarty guidance, referenced in the FOA description as Notice NOT-TW-12-011 regarding country eligibility updates.
Are non-U.S. entities eligible?
Yes. Non-U.S. entities (foreign institutions) are eligible, as long as they are located in an NIH Fogarty-eligible LMIC and meet the other FOA limitations.
Can a U.S. organization apply through its non-U.S. component?
No. Non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply under this FOA.
Are foreign components allowed under this FOA?
No. Foreign components (as defined by the NIH Grants Policy Statement) are not allowed under this FOA.
What does it mean that the applicant must be an LMIC-based institution (not a U.S. institution operating abroad)?
It means the applicant organization itself must be a qualifying institution located in an eligible LMIC under Fogarty rules, rather than a U.S. institution applying via an overseas presence or a foreign site that is part of a U.S. organization.
Is cost sharing or matching required?
No. The FOA states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
What is the maximum award amount (award ceiling) for this planning grant?
The award ceiling listed for PAR-13-214 is $28,000, indicating it is meant to support focused planning and proposal development rather than full program implementation.
What CFDA program listings are associated with this opportunity?
The FOA description lists CFDA 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants) and CFDA 93.989 (International Research and Research Training).
Which agency administers PAR-13-214?
