Hubs of Interdisciplinary Research and Training in Global Environmental and Occupational Health (GEOHealth)

The Fogarty International Center (FIC) at NIH is soliciting applications for “Hubs of Interdisciplinary Research and Training in Global Environmental and Occupational Health (GEOHealth).” The program will fund collaborative research and training hubs that link U.S. investigators with scientists in low‑ and middle‑income countries (LMICs) to address environmental and occupational health challenges. Awards must integrate research and training, focus on chemical and environmental exposures, and generate data, methods, and resources that are widely shared. The intent is to advance prevention, detection, and intervention strategies for diseases linked to environmental and occupational hazards, benefiting both LMIC and U.S. populations. Applications are expected from universities, colleges, and nonprofit research institutions. The award will be a grant (RFA) with an anticipated start in July 2028. • Supports interdisciplinary, international research and training hubs on environmental/occupational health. • Requires U.S.–LMIC collaboration and alignment with at least one NIH Institute/Center mission. • Emphasizes data sharing, method dissemination, and capacity building for early‑career researchers. • Funding instrument: Grant (RFA) under NIH Fogarty International Center. • Anticipated posting: Sep 16 2026; application deadline Sep 22 2027; award expected Jul 20 2028. • Eligible applicants: public/private higher‑education institutions and nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations. • No cost‑sharing required.
