Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. India Bilateral Collaborative Research Partnerships (CRP) on the Prevention of HIV/AIDS and Co-morbidities (R21) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-AI-10-022) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant program aimed at building and strengthening research collaborations between institutions in the United States and partner institutions in India. The central goal is to support exploratory and developmental research projects that address HIV/AIDS prevention and, importantly, the prevention, treatment, or reduction of HIV-related co-morbidities. These co-morbidities are framed broadly and include areas such as HIV-associated malignancies, metabolic complications, and opportunistic infections. The program is explicitly designed not only to fund discrete research studies, but also to create durable scientific linkages that can mature into future, larger-scale institutional partnerships and investigator-to-investigator collaborations.
The FOA uses the NIH R21 mechanism, which is intended for early-stage, exploratory projects that can generate feasibility findings, proof-of-concept results, or pilot data. In practical terms, this means the program is geared toward teams that have strong ideas needing initial support to establish methods, test approaches in real-world settings, or produce preliminary evidence that can underpin a later, more extensive research proposal, such as a full-scale study to rigorously test an HIV prevention intervention or program. A key emphasis is that projects should leverage the research strengths and capacities present in both countries, reflecting topics of mutual interest and benefit to the U.S. and India rather than being one-sided or purely site-based outsourcing.
Funding availability for this initiative was projected at approximately $3,000,000 in fiscal year 2011, with an anticipated 8 to 10 new awards, and an award ceiling listed as $200,000. As a bilateral partnership model, the U.S. side is supported through NIH under this FOA, while the Indian collaborators were expected to be supported through a parallel or similar call from the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) and/or another Indian government research funding organization. As with many federal opportunities, awards were contingent on the availability of funds and the receipt of a sufficient number of high-quality, meritorious applications.
Eligibility is broad on the U.S. side and includes many categories of organizations that can apply as the lead applicant, provided there is an Indian institution partner. Eligible applicant types include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and a range of governmental entities (state, county, city/township, special district, and certain tribal governments and organizations). The eligibility language also explicitly recognizes a wide range of institution types and community-oriented organizations, including faith-based and community-based organizations, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. The FOA indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was posted and created on May 18, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 3, 2010, and an archive date of September 3, 2010. The program falls under multiple CFDA listings spanning mental health, alcohol, drug abuse, cancer research, infectious diseases, immunology, blood resources, and child health and development, signaling that NIH anticipated a wide scientific range of HIV prevention and HIV-associated co-morbidity topics that could intersect with multiple biomedical and behavioral research domains.
Overall, the opportunity can be understood as a structured entry point for U.S. and Indian investigators to launch joint, high-quality pilot studies in HIV prevention and HIV-related co-morbidities, with the expectation that successful projects will produce the preliminary evidence and collaborative foundation needed to pursue larger follow-on funding and more definitive prevention research trials or implementation studies.

No. The program is explicitly designed both to fund discrete exploratory studies and to help establish lasting collaborations between U.S. and Indian institutions and investigators.
Does the project need to be a true U.S.-India collaboration?
Yes. A key emphasis is that projects should leverage research strengths and capacities in both countries and reflect mutual interest and benefit to the U.S. and India. The FOA is not framed as supporting one-sided arrangements or simple site-based outsourcing.
Who can apply on the U.S. side?
Eligibility on the U.S. side is broad and includes public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)); small businesses; for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and a range of governmental entities (state, county, city/township, special district, and certain tribal governments and organizations).
