International Collaborations in Infectious Disease Research (ICIDR) (U01)

Description

This FOA invites applications from U.S. institutions proposing collaborative research with foreign [non-U.S.] investigators and organizations focused on infectious diseases that disproportionately affect the health of people living in resource-constrained countries.  The ICIDR program is intended to support research requiring access to populations of infected human and other mammalian hosts, parasites, and vectors limited or unavailable in the U.S. and other developed countries.  Therefore, the majority of research supported under the ICIDR program must be conducted at foreign sites with an emphasis on field and clinical studies of endemic diseases.  A non-U.S investigator at the foreign site will serve as a Major Foreign Collaborator (MFC).  The MFC must be listed as key personnel and have a primary appointment at a collaborating institution in an eligible foreign country. The MFC must have a significant role in the design, implementation, monitoring, and administrative management of the research projects.
