The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering the Emerging Global Leader Award (K43), a grant aimed at enhancing the research capacity of early-career scientists from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This funding opportunity is designed for junior faculty members at LMIC institutions who propose research aligned with their country's health priorities, while specifically excluding independent clinical trials. The award provides support for up to five years, covering salary and research-related expenses, with the expectation that recipients will dedicate 75% of their time to research and development activities. Interested applicants must submit their proposals by December 3, 2026, and can find additional information at the NIH grants website or contact NIH Grants Information at grantsinfo@nih.gov for further inquiries.
