AI Contract Overview
The LAUNCH program is designed to support the development of early career global health researchers in the United States by providing immersive, one-year mentored research training in collaboration with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This initiative brings together consortia of four U.S. research institutions and at least six LMIC research-intensive institutions or sites to create thematic training programs focusing on biomedical or behavioral science areas aligned with NIH research priorities. The program emphasizes a comprehensive approach that includes mentorship, professional skill-building, collaborative research opportunities with LMIC peers, career guidance, and networking, all aimed at cultivating independent researchers capable of addressing health challenges both globally and domestically. By leveraging existing NIH research grants led by program mentors, LAUNCH offers a unique environment where trainees gain experience in the scientific contexts of LMICs while enhancing their capacity to contribute to solving health issues in the U.S. and worldwide. This program reflects the National Institutes of Health's commitment to fostering international research partnerships and advancing global health research capacity through hands-on training and collaboration. The contract for this initiative is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services, with contact provided for program inquiries.

Full Description
The LAUNCH program supports the training of future global health researchers by providing early career researchers in the U.S. an opportunity for immersion in the wide-ranging health conditions and challenges experienced in international low-resource settings and to partner with local health researchers. Consortia consisting of four U.S. research institutions and at least six collaborating research intensive institutions and/or sites in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) will develop one-year mentored research training programs for pre- and post-doctoral trainees that focus thematically on areas of biomedical or behavioral science relevant to the research priorities of the participating NIH institutes, centers and offices. These programs will provide research mentorship, rigorous technical and professional skills training, research partnerships with matched LMIC peers, career guidance, networking opportunities, and a collaborative research training environment to support the trainees’ potential to develop into independent researchers. By leveraging the unique scientific contexts of LMICs and existing NIH research grants led by program mentors, LAUNCH enhances the potential of future research by trainees to address health needs in the U.S. and globally.
