Opportunity Summary:
The Planning Grant for the Fogarty HIV Research Training Program for Low-and Middle-Income Country Institutions (D71) is a U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), Fogarty International Center funding opportunity designed to help low- and middle-income country (LMIC) institutions prepare a strong, full-scale HIV research training proposal. Rather than funding a complete training program right away, this opportunity supports the early planning work needed to design a rigorous, locally grounded research training program that can measurably strengthen HIV research capacity within an LMIC institution or across LMIC sites participating in an established HIV research network.
This funding opportunity (PAR-16-281) is specifically a planning grant mechanism (D71) under the broader Fogarty HIV Research Training Program. Applicants are expected to use the planning period to develop both (1) a detailed plan for an HIV research training program and (2) a subsequent, complete application to be submitted to the companion D43 funding announcement (PAR-16-279). In practical terms, the D71 is meant to give institutions time and limited resources to do the foundational design work: clarifying training goals, shaping curricula and mentored research experiences, aligning institutional commitments, defining trainee selection and support processes, establishing evaluation metrics, and organizing the partnerships and administrative structure needed for a competitive D43 submission.
A central requirement is that the planned training program focus on a defined, high-priority HIV scientific area identified by NIH (referenced in NOT-OD-15-137). The emphasis is not simply on general training, but on building durable, specialized capacity in an area of HIV research considered particularly important. The training program must be anchored in the needs and context of the LMIC institution (or network sites), with the intent that the institution(s) emerge stronger in their ability to design, conduct, and sustain high-quality HIV research over time.
The opportunity is offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, and is categorized as discretionary grant funding in the education and health activity areas. It is associated with multiple CFDA numbers (93.242, 93.273, 93.279, 93.989), reflecting NIH programmatic and institute linkages. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which signals that applicants must confirm they meet the specific eligibility conditions detailed in the full announcement, with the clear programmatic intent that LMIC institutions are the primary applicants for this planning support.
Key administrative details include an award ceiling of $28,000 and a single application due date listed as August 23, 2018 (original and current closing date). The funding opportunity was created and posted on May 23, 2016. While the record does not specify the number of expected awards in the provided text, the small maximum budget underscores that this mechanism is meant for targeted planning activities rather than implementation of a full training pipeline. Overall, the D71 is essentially a structured on-ramp into the Fogarty HIV Research Training Program, helping LMIC institutions develop a well-conceived, competitive D43 proposal that can support longer-term training and capacity-building in priority HIV research areas.
