LAUNCHing Leaders for Future U.S. Investments in Global Health Research (D43 Clinical Trial Optional)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a grant opportunity titled "LAUNCHing Leaders for Future U.S. Investments in Global Health Research," aimed at supporting the training of early career researchers in global health. This program seeks consortia of four U.S. research institutions and at least six collaborating research-intensive institutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to develop one-year mentored research training programs that focus on biomedical or behavioral science relevant to NIH research priorities. The initiative is designed to enhance the potential of future researchers to address health needs both in the U.S. and globally, providing mentorship, skills training, and networking opportunities. Interested applicants can reach out to UnJa Hayes at unja.hayes@nih.gov or call 301-827-7024 for more information, with the estimated project start date set for July 1, 2027, and key deadlines for synopsis posting and closing occurring in March and May 2026, respectively.
