About the call

This initiative will provide salary and research support to Low- and Middle-Income Country (LMIC) junior faculty and research scientists who are based at LMIC academic or research institutions for intensive mentored research and career development activities focused on biomedical, behavioral, and/or clinical research in LMICs. Proposals will leverage special opportunities not present in the U.S. and result in generalizable knowledge applicable to the health of U.S. and LMIC populations. Recipients are required to receive mentoring from senior U.S. and LMIC researchers, and projects must leverage existing NIH research investments. A sustained period of research career development will enable recipients to become global research leaders at their LMIC institutions, serve as mentors to the next generation of investigators, and strengthen international networks that support NIH research investments.
