AI Contract Overview

The International Research Scientist Development Award (IRSDA), issued by the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services, provides salary and research support to junior faculty and advanced U.S. postdoctoral researchers. The program focuses on biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research conducted within low- and middle-income countries to generate knowledge beneficial to both U.S. and international populations. Participants are required to spend significant time at their designated research sites, receiving mentorship from senior experts in both the U.S. and the host country to foster the skills necessary for independent NIH research proposals. This initiative aims to develop global leaders in research and strengthen international networks that support NIH investments. By immersing researchers in local environments, the program facilitates the creation of collaborative relationships and prepares investigators to mentor future generations of scientists. The forecast for this opportunity is associated with NAICS code 541715 and is managed by the FIC IRSDA Program.

Full Description

This initiative will provide salary and research support to advanced U.S. postdoctoral researchers and junior faculty for intensive mentored research and career development activities focused on biomedical, behavioral, and/or clinical research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Proposals will leverage special opportunities not present in the U.S. and result in generalizable knowledge applicable to the health of U.S. and LMIC populations. Recipients will be required to spend significant time at the LMIC research site and receive mentoring from senior U.S. and LMIC researchers. This experience will provide recipients with a deep understanding of the local research environment and foster collaborative relationships necessary to develop competitive independent NIH research proposals. A sustained period of research career development will enable recipients to become global leaders in their fields, serve as mentors to the next generation of investigators, and strengthen international networks that support NIH research investments.
