Funding news for global health researchers: September 15, 2025
On behalf of the Fogarty International Center at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), the following funding
opportunities, notices and announcements may be of interest to those working in the field of global health research. Updates
are typically distributed once a week.
Special Announcements
New Application Structure for NIH-Funded International Collaborations
NIH defines a foreign component as any significant scientific element or segment of a project performed 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.
As described in
NOT-OD-25-104, NIH has recognized that current application and award structure for subawards has failed to meet federal reporting and oversight needs. This has raised concerns over national security, especially around tracking the expenditure of federal funds at foreign components. To address these concerns, NIH announced that it will no longer be accepting new applications that request funds for foreign components using the traditional grant subaward/consortium structure. The purpose of this Notice is to announce a new application and award structure for applications that request funding for foreign component organizations.
