Apply for a Grant

The Fogarty International Center and its partners throughout the National Institutes of Health (NIH) fund research and research training to build sustainable research capacity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

The Fogarty International Center (FIC) does NOT:

  • Accept unsolicited grant applications
  • Provide grants specifically for foreign travel to meetings or conferences
  • Provide training grants directly to students; we do provide training grants to institutions who select trainees.

If interested in these types of training grants, please see the Non-NIH Funding Opportunities Directory for information about other agencies and organizations that may meet your needs.
