This program supports U.S. postdoctoral biomedical, epidemiological, clinical,
social and behavioral scientists in the formative stages of their careers to
conduct research in developing countries. These awards will provide the
successful candidates with a three- to four-year period of intensive mentored
research, leading to an independent research career focused on global health.
This research must be directly linked to an established collaboration between a
U.S. mentor/sponsor and a leading developing country scientist at an
internationally recognized research institution in a developing country.
Collaborations are expected to lead to advances that will reduce the impact of
global health problems and narrow the gap in health disparities between
developed and developing countries. Awardees who obtain a tenure track position
may submit a competitive renewal application for up to three years of additional
mentored career development support. The total amount to be awarded is expected
to be $250,000 - $500,000 and the anticipated number of awards is two to five.
Applicants may request salary and fringe benefits for the Principal Investigator
and support for travel and research development. This program will use the NIH
career development (K01) award mechanism. The application may be submitted on
behalf of the candidate (Principal Investigator) by any domestic non-profit,
public or private institution, such as a university, college, hospital, or
laboratory. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply. Candidates must be
U.S. citizens, non-citizen nationals, or individuals lawfully admitted for U.S.
permanent residence, who have earned a doctoral, dental or medical degree within
seven years of the application receipt date.
