Special Announcements

Fogarty seeks applications for International Health Program Officer

The Division of International Relations (DIR) at the Fogarty International Center is seeking an International Health Program Officer. The International Health Program Officer is responsible for all administrative, management, and policy development activities related to the implementation and coordination of NIH supported biomedical research programs all over the world.

Reminder - Definition of Foreign Components

NIH has recently received questions regarding whether there has been a change in the definition of a foreign component, and whether a foreign co-author on a publication that cites an NIH grant award automatically results in a foreign component.

This notice reminds the extramural community of NIH's longstanding definition of foreign components. While NIH has increased its oversight of foreign collaborations, we have not expanded the definition of foreign components. As outlined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, a foreign component is:

The performance of any significant scientific element or segment of a project outside of the United States, either by the recipient or by a researcher employed by a foreign organization, whether or not grant funds are expended. Activities that would meet this definition include, but are not limited to

  1. the involvement of human subjects or animals at a foreign site;
  2. extensive foreign travel by recipient project staff for the purpose of data collection, surveying, sampling, and similar activities; or
  3. any activity of the recipient that may have an impact on U.S. foreign policy through involvement in the affairs or environment of a foreign country.
