AITRP

AIDS International Training and Research Program

This program provides training for scientists at institutions in countries defined by The World Bank as low income, lower-middle income or upper-middle income. The program aims to build multi-disciplinary biomedical, behavioral and social science research capacity for the prevention, care and treatment of HIV/AIDS and HIV-related conditions for those adults and children affected by HIV/AIDS in the collaborating country.

Currently open


GENE

International Collaborative Genetics Research Training Program

The International Collaborative Genetics Research Training Program was designed to enhance and promote equitable international collaborations between investigators in the developed world and those in developing countries where a base level of institutional infrastructure for the advancement of sustainable genetic science is already established.

Closed


GID

Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program

GID program addresses research training needs related to infectious diseases that are predominantly endemic in or 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 ultimate goal is to build a critical mass of researchers and support staff to conduct independent infectious disease research in developing country institutions.

GRIP

Global Research Initiative Program for New Foreign Investigators

The goal of this initiative is to provide funding opportunities upon return home for the increasing pool of foreign biomedical and behavioral scientists, clinical investigators, nurses, and other health professionals with state-of-the-art knowledge of research methods to advance critical issues in global health when they return home. Upon completion of their research experiences using this grant mechanism, developing country participants are expected to continue to pursue independent and productive careers, including expert training and consultation and/or research of biomedical issues within their home institutions.

ICBG

International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups

The ICBG program supports international, public-private, interdisciplinary research teams in the exploration and discovery of novel compounds and extracts from nature with potential for development as therapeutic agents for multiple disease targets while building research capacity in partnering countries. Currently active grants also include biodiscovery for agricultural, crop protection, and animal health applications as well as bioenergy agents and biofuels, though the most recent funding announcement does not include these areas.
