Updates

Researchers interested in international research collaboration should consider applying to Fogarty funding opportunities with upcoming application deadlines.

Program Overview

The Fogarty International Research Collaboration Award (FIRCA) has been terminated. The program fostered international research partnerships between NIH-supported scientists and their collaborators in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). FIRCA aims to benefit the research interests of both collaborators while increasing and enhancing research capacity at the LMIC site.
