Opportunity Summary:

The Planning Grant for Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program (D71) (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-10-262) is a Fogarty International Center (FIC), National Institutes of Health (NIH) planning grant designed to help applicants lay the groundwork for a future, full international research training program application under the companion D43 funding opportunity for the Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program (GID) (referenced as PAR-10-260). In practical terms, this D71 mechanism is meant to fund the early-stage planning and partnership-building work that is needed before submitting a larger, more comprehensive D43 proposal. The central expectation is that the D71 application presents a clear, credible plan to develop all key components of a competitive international infectious disease research training program, rather than operating as a stand-alone training award.

The broader GID program focus is capacity building for infectious disease research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as defined by the World Bank classification system. The training emphasis is on infectious diseases other than HIV/AIDS, with the goal of strengthening the ability of LMIC institutions to conduct high-quality research that responds to local and regional disease burdens. Within that scope, FIC indicates particular interest in training programs centered on major endemic diseases, life-threatening emerging infectious diseases, neglected tropical diseases, common co-infections affecting people with HIV/AIDS (while still keeping the primary disease focus outside HIV/AIDS itself), and infections that occur in conjunction with non-communicable disease conditions associated with poverty. The announcement ties these priorities to Fogarty planning documents and broader U.S. global health priorities (including the FIC Strategic Plan and the Global Health Initiative), signaling that applicants should align proposed planning activities with these strategic directions.

A defining feature of the opportunity is its emphasis on collaboration. The planning grant is expected to be developed and carried out jointly by all designated participating institutions, reflecting the program model of international partnership and shared ownership. This implies that applicants should use the planning period to establish or deepen the institutional relationships, define roles and governance, assess training needs and research strengths, and design the training structure that would later be proposed in a D43 application. While the synopsis does not list specific required components, the intent is clearly to support the preparatory work that makes an international research training program feasible, coherent, and responsive to LMIC capacity needs.

Administratively, this is a discretionary grant in the health category, listed under CFDA 93.989 (International Research and Research Training), and it does not require cost sharing or matching. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations), as clarified in the eligibility language. The opportunity was posted August 17, 2010, with an original closing date of September 21, 2012, and a current closing date listed as May 21, 2013; it was archived June 22, 2013. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through the NIH Grants Guide page linked in the notice. For access or technical issues, the contact point provided is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster email listed in the announcement.
