News Release: Fogarty International Center Announces
Collaborative Research Program on Brain Disorders
6th
IBRO World Congress in Prague, Czech Republic July 13, 2003:
Summary of Workshop on International Funding Opportunities and
Grantsmanship for Neuroscientists from Low- and Middle- Income
Countries
Purpose:
To develop collaborative research and capacity building
projects on brain disorders throughout life, relevant to low-
and middle-income nations. Applicants are expected to develop
innovative, collaborative research programs that would
contribute to the long-term goal of building sustainable
research capacity in neurological (including sensory, motor,
cognitive and behavioral) impairment throughout life.
This first phase of the "Brain Disorders in The
Developing World: Research Across the Lifespan" program,
beginning in fiscal year 2003, will consist of two-year
planning/development grants using the R21 grant mechanism. The
R21 grant will provide support to organize, plan for, prepare,
and assemble an application for a more comprehensive R01 grant
involving collaboration between developed and developing
country investigators and which incorporates both research and
capacity building. During the R21 award period, the applicant
should: further define the type and area of research to be
developed; conduct pilot studies;
develop and solidify collaborative relationships and
understandings with the partners in the developed and
developing countries involved; assess current resources and
needs, such as and including the need for an institutional
review board for studies involving human subjects; develop a
plan to address these needs to enable the proposed research
and capacity building to be successfully carried out; and
identify the training and other capacity-building
opportunities to be incorporated into the research application
in the context of the proposed research.
