Global Brain and Nervous System Disorders Research Across the Lifespan
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages grant applications for the conduct of innovative, collaborative research projects with low- and middle-income country (LMIC) institutions/ scientists on brain and other nervous system function and disorders throughout life, relevant to LMICs. Research on neuro-health and neurological, neuromuscular, sensory, neuropsychiatric, cognitive, behavioral and neurodevelopmental function and disorders may span the full range of science from basic to clinical to translation and implementation research. Scientists in the United States (U.S.) or upper middle-income countries (UMICs) are eligible to partner with LMIC institutions. Scientists in UMICs may partner directly with scientists at other LMIC institutions with or without out a US partner. Income categories are defined by the World Bank at http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-classifications/country-and-lending-groups.
The collaborative research programs are expected to contribute to the long-term goals of building and strengthening sustainable neuro-health research capacity in LMICs to address brain, nervous system and neuromuscular development, function and impairment throughout life and to lead to diagnostics, treatments, prevention and implementation strategies. The proposed work will also contribute to developing a base for research networking and evidence-based policy beyond the specific research project. R01 Applications must be relevant to the mission of one of the participating ICs other than FIC. Applicants for this R01 should consult with the listed IC staff contact(s). Confirmation of interest from at least one NIH IC, other than FIC is strongly encouraged, before applying. .

To determine country income categories, please view the following: http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-classifications/country-and-lending-groups. The subcategories of LMICs are upper-middle-income (UMIC), lower-middle-income and low-income countries. PLEASE NOTE: UMIC is a subcategory of LMIC and UMICs have additional eligibility options as described below.
At least one institution in an LMIC, and at least one institution in the U.S. or an UMIC, must be involved as partners in the grant application (UMIC institutions, as one category of LMICs, are eligible to partner either with U.S. institutions or directly with other LMIC institutions with or without a U.S. partner). Applications may be submitted from the LMIC (including UMIC) or US institution partner.
Exceptions:
Foreign high-income country (HIC) institutions are not eligible institutional partners under this FOA (but individual investigators may be involved as described below in "Eligible Individuals").
Foreign Institutions
Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Institutions) are eligible to apply.
Non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. Organizations are eligible to apply.
Foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are allowed.
Eligible Individuals (Program Director/Principal Investigator)
Any individual(s) with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research as the Program Director(s)/Principal Investigator(s) (PD(s)/PI(s)) is invited to work with his/her organization to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support.
For institutions/organizations proposing multiple PDs/PIs, visit the Multiple Program Director/Principal Investigator Policy and submission details in the Senior/Key Person Profile (Expanded) Component of the SF424 (R&R) Application Guide.
This FOA provides an avenue for investigators in LMICs and the U.S., with shared interests in brain and other nervous system disorders, to establish collaborative research and research capacity strengthening activities. Therefore, one or more investigators from an institution(s) in an LMIC and one or more from another LMIC and/or the U.S. (see definitions above, in the Eligible Institutions section) must collaborate on the application. PLEASE NOTE: Use of the multiple PD/PI format is encouraged but not required. Where there are multiple PD/PIs, the contact PD/PI may be from the LMIC institution or from the U.S.
NOTE: Non-U.S.-based HIC investigators are NOT eligible as PD/PIs but may be included as consultants, especially if they present special opportunities for furthering research programs, present special opportunities and/or unusual talent for furthering research programs, or provide resources relevant to the proposed project that either are not readily available in the eligible LMIC or the U.S. institution or which augment existing resources.
