This grant provides funding for independent researchers at minority-serving institutions to conduct innovative studies that address and reduce substance use-related health disparities affecting underserved racial and ethnic minority populations in the U.S.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for research at minority-serving institutions to explore how structural racism affects neurocognition and substance use disorder risk, with the goal of developing effective prevention strategies.

This funding opportunity provides financial support for research teams working with communities to develop and test strategies that address and reduce substance use and addiction disparities among racial and ethnic minority populations.

This funding opportunity supports experienced researchers in synthesizing extensive datasets from their long-term studies into valuable new insights, tools, and products that advance understanding in the biological sciences.

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications for research training programs to strengthen the scientific capacity of institutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to conduct HIV research relevant to the evolving HIV epidemic in their country. This FOA can support training for conducting research in a broad range of HIV research areas across HIV prevention, treatment, care, and quality of life continuum. This includes basic, epidemiologic, clinical, behavioral and social sciences, community-based, implementation, operations, health services, and health systems research. Cross-disciplinary research as well as HIV associated comorbidities and coinfections affecting the HIV epidemic will be supported under this FOA. An application should focus the proposed training program to strengthen research capacity in a defined high priority HIV scientific area aligned with NIH HIV/AIDS research priorities (NOT-OD-20-018) at a specific LMIC institution and collaborating LMIC partner institutions.

The overall goal of the Fogarty International Center (FIC) HIV Research Training Program is to strengthen the scientific capacity of institutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to conduct HIV research on the evolving HIV epidemic in their countries.This FOA encourages collaborative applications from U.S. and LMIC institutions to support training to achieve technical, administration and financial management expertise required for one of the six research infrastructure functions considered critical to a successful high quality research environment:Research administration and management;Research integrity oversight;Ethical review of research for the protection of human subjects;Laboratory animal welfare oversightHealth sciences library and information services; andInformation and communications technology systems (ICT) for researchResearch infrastructure training programs will maximize previous investments and further strengthen the LMIC institution's research capabilities, and provide more accessible research infrastructure training opportunities to others in their own country and in other LMICs.

The Fogarty HIV Research Training Program supports research training that strengthens HIV research capacity of institutions in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). This FOA offers an opportunity for LMIC institutions to submit a planning grant application to prepare to participate in the Fogarty HIV Research Training Program.These applications must propose a plan to develop a research training program and the subsequent application that will be submitted in response to the companion D43 FOA (PAR-19-283). The planned research training program should strengthen research capacity in a defined high priority HIV scientific area (NOT-OD-15-137) at an LMIC institution(s).

This funding opportunity provides financial support for small-scale biomedical research projects at institutions with limited NIH funding, focusing on enhancing research experiences for health professional, undergraduate, and graduate students.

The purpose of this Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) for Undergraduate-Focused Institutions is to support small scale research grants at institutions that do not receive substantial funding from the NIH, with an emphasis on providing biomedical research experiences primarily for undergraduate students, and enhancing the research environment at these applicant institutions. Eligible institutions must award baccalaureate science degrees, and have received less than 6 million dollars per year of NIH support (total costs) in 4 of the last 7 fiscal years.

The U.S. Department of States Consulate General of the United States in Hyderabad announces an open competition to implement a program, Countering Disinformation Training for Vernacular Language Journalists, in four consular regions and the embassy region. Based on funding availability, this project will provide 20 to 25 journalists in five regional languages of Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, Bengali, and Hindi from media outlets and digital platforms in Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata, and New Delhi with 18-month-long, hands-on training in countering disinformation, consulting multiple sources, and utilizing fact checking resources. This project will build skills among local language journalists to verify news, views, photos, and videos prior to release. This project will also help build a network of responsible journalists in India who will advocate for fact checking, and recognize that the need to build audience trust outweighs being first to break the news.
