The International Research Scientist Development Award (IRSDA) provides support and protected time (three to five years) to advanced postdoctoral U.S. research scientists (at least two years beyond conferral of doctoral degree) for an intensive, mentored research career development experience leading to an independent research career focused on global health.
The experience will be in a low- or middle-income country (LMIC) as defined by the World Bank. Low-income, lower-middle-income and upper-middle-income countries are included.
Applications are invited from early career investigators from any health-related discipline who propose career development activities and a research project that is related to the health priorities of the LMIC.
