Global Collaborative Research Training on Non-Communicable Diseases and Disorders Across the Lifespan

The National Institutes of Health is seeking to establish institutional research training programs designed for scientists in low- and middle-income countries to foster collaboration with U.S. researchers on noncommunicable diseases, disorders, and health conditions. These programs will provide comprehensive mentorship and training in critical areas such as data management, scientific publication, and the responsible conduct of research. Trainee projects are expected to utilize NIH-funded studies to investigate the etiology and epidemiology of these conditions in low-resource settings, ensuring the research benefits both the local health priorities of the participating countries and the health needs of U.S. populations. To be eligible, applications must align with the mission of at least one NIH Institute, Center, or Office and demonstrate the use of unique resources, populations, or environmental conditions available in the partner country that are not readily accessible within the United States. This initiative, categorized under NAICS code 541715, is managed by the Division of International Training and Research and aims to augment existing U.S. research capabilities through strategic global partnerships.
