NIH - Fogarty International Center Awards New Grants to International Research Collaborations
Colleagues,
The Fogarty International Center, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), today announced it will award approximately $537,000 over three years to fund international research collaboration at five universities. Fogarty International Research Collaboration Award (FIRCA) grants are given jointly to an NIH-supported investigator and an overseas collaborator in a low- and middle-income country, with the financial support going to the foreign collaborator. The FIRCA program is intended to benefit the research interests of both collaborators while increasing research capacity at the foreign site.
The five new grants will support research on a wide range of public health issues including obesity, chronic mountain sickness, dengue fever and central nervous system injuries.
The 2009 Fogarty International Research Collaboration Award Grantees include:
* University of California, San Diego and Universidad Nacional de Quilmes, Buenos Aires, Argentina
* University of Chile, Santiago, Chile and University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
* University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and Instituto Leloir, Buenos Aires, Argentina
* University of Notre Dame, South Bend, Indiana and University of Pune, Maharashtra, India
* Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, N.C. and Universidad Mayor de San Andrés, La Paz, Bolivia
