Infrastructure Development Training Programs for Critical HIV Research at Low-and Middle-Income Country Institutions (G11 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)

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 oversight Health sciences library and information services; and Information and communications technology systems (ICT) for research Research 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.
