Global Health Research and Research Training eCapacity Initiative (PAR-13-107)

The Fogarty International Center has released a funding opportunity announcement for the new Global Health Research and Research Training eCapacity Initiative (R25). This initiative aims to support innovative research education programs to teach researchers at low and middle income country (LMIC) institutions the knowledge and skills necessary to incorporate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into global health research and research training. Proposed programs should significantly increase the ability of researchers to use, adapt and integrate ICT approaches, thus establishing electronic capacity (eCapacity) at LMIC institutions.

This funding opportunity aims to leverage the research capacity established by current or former Fogarty International Center research and research training grants through direct links with these awards.

Eligibility

• Applicants must be Principal Investigators or collaborators from current or former Fogarty research, research training or research education grants.
• The focus of the capacity building activities of the application must be institutions in LMICs as defined by the World Bank.
• View full eligibility details in the program announcement.
