Global Brain and Nervous System Disorders Research Across the Lifespan
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages exploratory/developmental research grant applications, piloting innovative, collaborative research projects with low- and middle-income country (LMIC) institutions/ scientists on brain and other nervous system-related function and disorders throughout life, relevant to LMICs. Research on the full spectrum of neuro-health, 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 LMIC institutions may partner with scientists in other LMIC institutions and/or U.S. institutions . Income categories are defined by the World Bank at http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-classifications/country-and-lending-groups).
These grants are expected to foster the development of more comprehensive research programs that contribute to the long-term goals of building sustainable neuro-health research capacity in LMICs to address brain, nervous system and neuromuscular related development, function and impairment throughout life and to lead to diagnostics, prevention, treatment and implementation strategies. The proposed work may also contribute to developing a base for research networking and evidence-based policy beyond the specific research project.

LMIC institutions, are eligible to partner either with U.S. institutions, and/or with other LMIC institutions with or without a U.S. partner. Applications may be submitted from any of the institutional partners as appropriate.
Exceptions:
Foreign high income-country institutions are not eligible institutional partners under this FOA (but individual investigators may be involved as described below in "Eligible Individuals").
LMIC components of US institutions are generally not eligible as the LMIC institution.
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 LMIC institution, and one or more from another LMIC institution and/or a U.S. institution (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 expertise, 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.
