NIH Global Health Program for Fellows and Scholars (Global Health Fellows) (R25) RFA-TW-11-001

Program Summary

This program provides early training and career opportunities for doctoral students and post-docs in the health professions from the U.S. and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to participate in one-year mentored clinical research training programs in LMICs.  The general purpose is to develop the next generation of clinical investigators, especially with an eye toward international health research capacity building and collaborations. The program provides mentored hands-on experience for these potential new U.S. and LMIC investigators in LMICs, and strengthens relationships and collaborations between U.S. and LMIC institutions, researchers, and trainees in these countries. In addition, the program builds research capacity in the LMICs by providing financial and technical training support for students and newly graduated researchers in those countries.  Awards up to $1M in direct costs per year for up to five years.

OVCR may reserve submission slots for previously submitted but unfunded proposals that received highly competitive ratings from the external sponsor. These will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the Vice Chancellor. For consideration, scanned copies of your complete reviews (not just summary) must be included with LOI. RDS will contact those who submitted LOIs with further instructions regarding the limited competitions.

Depending upon the number of LOIs submitted, OVCR might be required to facilitate an internal peer review process to select UIC’s submission(s) to this program.  White paper instructions will be posted if necessary.
