Brain Disorders in the Developing World: Research Across the Lifespan

Brain Disorders in the Developing World: Research Across the Lifespan
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages grant applications proposing the conduct of innovative, collaborative research and research training projects, between High Income country (HIC) and low- to middle-income country (LMIC) scientists, on nervous system function and disorders throughout life, relevant to LMICs. The collaborative research programs are expected to contribute to the long-term goals of building sustainable research capacity in LMICs to address nervous system development, function and impairment throughout life and to lead to diagnostics, treatment and prevention strategies.

Chronic, Non-Communicable Diseases and Disorders Across the Lifespan: Fogarty International Research Training Award

Chronic, Non-Communicable Diseases and Disorders Across the Lifespan: Fogarty International Research Training Award
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is issued by the Fogarty International Center (FIC), together with the Office of Dietary Supplements (OD/ODS), the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the National Institute on Aging (NIA), the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). The proposed institutional research training program is expected to sustainably strengthen the research capacity of the LMIC institutions, and to train in-country experts to conduct research on chronic, non-communicable diseases and disorders across the lifespan, with the ultimate goal of implementing evidence-based interventions relevant to their countries.

Fogarty International Research Collaboration - Basic Biomedical (FIRCA-BB) Research Award

Fogarty International Research Collaboration - Basic Biomedical (FIRCA-BB) Research Award
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) facilitates collaborative basic biomedical research between scientists supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and investigators in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC).  Special consideration will be given to proposed research that addresses significant global health problems, (particularly those of high relevance to a LMIC country or region) and that includes research capacity building as a major aim of the proposed project.  

Interventions for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention in Native American Populations

Interventions for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention in Native American Populations
The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to develop, adapt, and test the effectiveness of health promotion and disease prevention interventions in Native American (NA) populations. NA populations are exposed to considerable risk factors that significantly increase their likelihood of chronic disease, substance abuse, mental illness, and HIV-infection. The intervention program should be culturally appropriate and promote the adoption of healthy lifestyles, improve behaviors and social conditions and/or improve environmental conditions related to chronic disease, the consumption of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs, mental illness or HIV-infection.
