Fogarty NIH — Global Infectious Diseases (GID) Research Training Program (D43) 2026

Fogarty International Center (FIC), NIH · United States

The Global Infectious Disease (GID) research training program addresses research training needs related to infectious diseases that are predominantly endemic in or have an impact upon people living in developing countries. The training programs include a variety of research training options to match the needs of the developing country institution. The program focuses on a major endemic or life-threatening emerging infectious disease, neglected tropical disease, infections that frequently occur as a co-infection in HIV infected individuals, or infections associated with noncommunicable disease conditions of public health importance in LMICs. The ultimate goal is to build a critical mass of researchers and support staff to conduct independent infectious disease research in developing country institutions.

Deadline: Closes 6 August 2026Closed
Value: Up to $230,000 per year for new awards and $276,000 per year for renewal awards (total direct costs).

Emerging Global Leader Award (K43)

Fogarty International Center (FIC), NIH · United States

The K43 is a career development award that protects a junior faculty member's time to build an independent research career at their own low- or middle-income country institution. Two parallel announcements run: PAR-24-296, where no independent clinical trial is allowed, and PAR-24-295, where the candidate leads an independent clinical trial. Both require the LMIC institution itself to be the applicant organisation, one LMIC-based and one US-based mentor, and research addressing the health priorities of the candidate's own country.
