On behalf of the Fogarty International Center at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), the following funding

Special Announcements

Early Expiration of Fogarty Funding Opportunities
On October 19, 2023, NIH
announced a new framework for the peer review of most research project grant (RPG) applications. NIH has since identified a number of Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) that were not expired or reissued as indicated in the implementation plan outlined in

Reminder: Application Requirements for Projects Involving Activities Outside of the United States or Partnerships with International Collaborators
NIH issued a notice/reminder about longstanding application requirements for projects involving activities outside of the United States or partnerships with international collaborators. In order for NIH to fully assess all foreign activities and collaborations prior to award, the
SF-424 R&R Other Project Information Form requires applicants to indicate whether the project involves activities outside of the United States or partnerships with international collaborators, and, if yes, include a “Foreign Justification.”
Updated NIH Policy on Foreign Subawards
