Membership Services - Information for Vision 2020 India Members Tuesday, 08 July 2008 Dear MembersGreetings from the Vision 2020 India Secretariat Team, now at Jodhpur. We are forwarding an announcement regarding USAID research training opportunities, shared by one of our Board Members. Please note it’s for training to undertake research, not the research itself. There is an option to apply for a one year planning grant of $23,000 if an organization applies direct, or $138k per year for an actual training programme, for up to 5 years. National Institutes of Health: Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program Award Deadline: Letters of Intent: August 14, 2008; Full Proposals: September 16, 2008 This program supports U.S. and developing country institutions for programs to provide infectious disease (excluding HIV/AIDS) research training to scientists and health professionals in order to build sustainable research capacity in low- and middle-income endemic countries. Developing country institutions may also apply for one-year planning grants to support the development and submission of research training program proposals in the subsequent year. This one perhaps less relevant given disease focus, but nevertheless: National Institutes of Health: International Research in Infectious Diseases including AIDS Program Deadline: Letters of Intent: August 16, 2008; Full Proposals: September 16, 2008 This program provides support to conduct studies and establish collaborative infectious diseases research with investigators and institutions at international sites. The intent is to advance the development of local scientific expertise, build local research infrastructure, and increase collaborative research partnerships. Topics of interest are limited to research on infectious diseases, including emerging infections that are of the greatest public health significance within the applicant country (e.g. tuberculosis; malaria; HIV/AIDS; sexually transmitted diseases; diarrheal, respiratory, and enteric diseases; viral hemorrhagic fevers; viral encephalitides; parasitic diseases; and vector-borne diseases). Development of immunological, microbiological, biostatistical, epidemiological, and clinical research capacity is encouraged. |
