              For international researchers and international research collaborations: Research funding opportunities

The NIDCD awards grants to support researchers both inside and outside of the U.S. These awards are made to institutions on behalf of the principal investigator(s). Research conducted outside of the U.S. can be supported through components of domestic awards or through direct foreign awards. Foreign institutions can apply for NIH funding as noted in several of the parent funding opportunities. Some funding opportunities, including R13 conference grants and small business innovation research/small business technology transfer (SBIR/STTR) grants, are not open to foreign institutions. Potential applicants must read notices of funding opportunities carefully for eligibility requirements. It is recommended that potential applicants engage with the relevant scientific contact prior to submission.

Please review the NIH Grants & Funding page on information for foreign grants for details.

In addition to following the standard NIH review criteria, reviewers assess whether the project presents special opportunities for furthering research programs through the use of unusual talent, resources, populations, or environmental conditions in other countries that are not readily available in the U.S. or that augment existing U.S. resources.

For more information, contact Kelly King, Au.D., Ph.D., NIDCD Program Officer.

For researchers seeking training and career development opportunities

Generally, to be eligible for research training and career development opportunities, the applicant must be a citizen or a non-citizen national of the U.S., or have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the U.S. These requirements are necessary regardless of whether the applicant is located at a U.S. or foreign institution. In addition, foreign institutions are eligible to apply for research training and career development awards on behalf of U.S. citizens.

In order to determine eligibility and ascertain whether the NIDCD is the best fit for an application, potential applicants should send the following to Alberto Rivera‐Rentas, Ph.D, NIDCD Extramural Research Training Officer:

A biosketch in NIH format (including all degrees and certifications/licenses).
	A one-page summary of the project, including the specific aims, the specifics of the population to be studied, and the name of the mentor(s).
	A one-page statement of the relevance of the project to NIDCD's strategic plan, research areas, and mission.The K99/R00 Award (NIH Pathway to Independence Award) is the only career development mechanism for which U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is not required. This award supports outstanding senior postdoctoral investigators in NIDCD research areas who are ready to complete their transition to become independent investigators.

*Training opportunities at the NIH*

The NIH Office of Intramural Training & Education hosts the Graduate Partnerships Program, which is designed to bring Ph.D. students to the NIH Intramural Research Program for dissertation research. Many NIH/university partnerships are available to U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, or international graduate students.
	For more information, contact Elyssa Monzack, Ph.D., NIDCD Intramural Chief of Staff.Contacts
