Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 17 097
Planning for Non-Communicable Diseases and Disorders Research Training Programs in Low and Middle Income Countries (D71) (PAR 17-097) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant opportunity in the health category (CFDA 93.989) focused specifically on helping low- and middle-income country (LMIC) institutions design strong, locally relevant research training programs in chronic, non-communicable diseases and disorders (NCDs). Rather than funding a full, long-term training program right away, this award supports the planning stage: applicants are expected to take a careful look at current national and institutional needs, identify gaps in skills and infrastructure, and produce a well-justified, actionable plan for a research training program that can strengthen NCD research capacity in the LMIC setting.
The core aim is capacity strengthening across multiple levels. At the individual level, the planned program should be designed to build the skills of LMIC trainees and early-career researchers so they can identify priority NCD problems and carry out high-quality research. At the institutional and country level, the plan should show how training will translate into stronger local systems for setting research priorities, conducting studies, and sustaining NCD research over time. The FOA emphasizes NCD research "across the lifespan," which signals interest in approaches that consider prevention, risk factors, disease progression, and outcomes from childhood through older adulthood, depending on the country context and burden of disease.
Eligibility is centered on LMIC institutions that already have some existing research and research training capacity in NCDs. The expectation is that applicants are not starting from zero; they should be positioned to do a meaningful needs assessment and design a training program that fits real conditions on the ground. Collaborations are allowed and can be included when they genuinely strengthen the planning effort. In particular, the LMIC applicant institution may partner with U.S. institutions and/or other LMIC institutions if the partnership is justified and appropriate for the goals of the planning grant. At the same time, there is a clear boundary in eligibility: foreign (non-U.S.) organizations and foreign institutions can apply directly, but non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply as the applicant entity, meaning the lead applicant must be an eligible LMIC institution rather than an overseas branch of a U.S. organization.
In practical terms, a competitive application under this FOA would be expected to lay out how the institution will assess training needs (for example, the current pipeline of researchers, mentorship availability, curriculum gaps, research methods needs, and constraints in research administration), how it will engage relevant stakeholders, and how it will convert findings into a concrete program design. The deliverable is essentially a blueprint for an NCD research training program tailored to the LMIC context, with clear priorities, a training structure, and a rationale for how the program will strengthen the ability to conduct NCD research and set NCD research priorities.
