Global Health Research and Research Training
93.989
The John E. Fogarty International Center (FIC) supports research and research training to reduce disparities in global health and to foster partnerships between U.S. scientists and their counterparts abroad. FIC supports basic biological, behavioral, and social science research, as well as related research training and career development. The research portfolio is divided into several programs that support a wide variety of funding mechanisms to meet programmatic objectives.
This chart shows obligations for the program by fiscal year. All data for this chart was provided by the

Fogarty started a new career development program for low- and middle-income country (LMIC) scientists and issued its first grants this year. While FIC has a similar program for U.S. scientists, this is the first of its kind at NIH that is specifically for foreign investigators. The Emerging Global Leader Award provides research support and protected time to research scientists from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) who hold an academic junior faculty position or research scientist appointment at an LMIC academic or research institution. The awards span a wide breadth of health disciplines and the proposed research projects are highly relevant to the health priorities of the LMIC scientists’ home countries.
Examples of two additional new programs launched this year include the Global Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) and Injury Across the Lifespan: Exploratory Research Program (R21) and the Emerging Epidemic Virus Research Training for West African Countries with Widespread Transmission of Ebola (Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone) Planning Grant (D71). The NCD and Injury Research Program supports exploratory research on locally relevant non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or injury in LMICs. The Emerging Epidemic Virus Research Training Planning grant encourages collaborative applications from either U.S. or African research institution partners to plan research training and capacity building programs focused on emerging viral epidemics in these three countries. Awards for both programs will be made in FY2016 with additional competition cycle in FY2017. FY16 $50,563,458 FY17 $51,397,157 FY18 $52,168,108
Fiscal Year 2017: FIC made six awards for the Fogarty Global Health Training Program (D43), with NIH partners at NIMH, NINDS, ORWH, and NHLBI. Built upon the successes of the historic Global Health Program for Fellows and Scholars, this new program provides opportunities for pre-doctoral/pre-professional degree students and post-doctoral/post-professional degree students from the U.S. and LMICs to spend a year of mentored research at an established research site in an LMIC. The FY17 class has 86 trainees with expertise covering a range of medical, nursing, and veterinary disciplines. Fogarty, with partners in the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Office of Behavioral Social Science Research (OBSSR), also made new awards in its International Tobacco: Health Research and Capacity Building program (R01). This program supports trans-disciplinary research on the international tobacco epidemic and focuses on reducing the burden of morbidity and mortality caused by tobacco use in LMICs.
