NIH IC Partner Interests

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is interested in training programs that sustainably strengthen heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) research capacity of low- and middle-income country institutions; train in-country experts to develop and conduct research on HLBS diseases and disorders across the lifespan; and maximize NHLBI’s current global health investments, with the long-range goal of developing and implementing evidence-based, contextualized HLBS interventions to reduce the burden of chronic diseases. Examples of HLBS diseases and disorders include, but are not limited to, hypertension, obesity, rheumatic heart disease, chronic obstructive lung diseases, asthma, and sickle cell disease. Training programs across the spectrum of research disciplines are encouraged, from basic biomedical, behavioral, and social science to clinical and applied sciences, including translational and implementation science that emphasizes the resources, context, and needs of multiple stakeholders in local settings. Training programs should include research skills, research design and methodology, ethics, data management and analysis, grant writing, manuscript writing, scientific presentations and research administration.
