Global Infectious Diseases Research Training Program (D43 Clinical Trial Optional)

The Global Infectious Diseases Research Training Program supports advanced research training for scientists from low- and middle-income countries on infectious diseases that pose a threat to the U.S. The program will provide long-term research training, short-term training activities, and mentorship in data-driven science, professional skills, and responsible conduct of research. The goal is to strengthen collaborations between U.S. and international researchers to better understand the transmission and pathology of pathogens and develop diagnostic, preventive, or treatment interventions. Key aspects of this opportunity include: • Research training programs will focus on infectious diseases that pose a potential threat to the U.S. • Applications must be relevant to the mission of at least one of the participating NIH Institutes, Centers, or Offices. • The program will include training in data-driven science, professional skills, and responsible conduct of research. • The goal is to develop diagnostic, preventive, or treatment interventions suited to low-resource settings globally.
