Purpose

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is issuing this Notice to promote new initiatives that will solicit applications to support research under Phase 2 of the U.S.-South Africa Program for Collaborative Biomedical Research. The intent of this program is to foster, stimulate, and/or expand basic, translational, behavioral and applied research that will advance scientific discovery and engage U.S. and South African researchers working collaboratively in the areas of HIV/AIDS, HIV/AIDS-associated malignancies, and other infectious diseases.

These FOAs will utilize the R01 and U01 activity codes, and U.S. and South African investigators working in partnership will prepare and submit a single joint application. This notice is provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive applications. Details of the planned FOAs are provided below.

These FOAs are expected to be published in March 2019 with an expected application due date in July 2019.

Research Initiative Details

This Notice encourages investigators from South Africa and the U.S. to create a multidisciplinary team to begin to consider applying for these FOAs. Research areas supported under this program include: HIV/AIDS; HIV/AIDS-associated malignancies; tuberculosis; sexually transmitted infections; parasitic infections; arboviruses and emerging/re-emerging viral pathogens; and vector biology and control. Basic, translational, behavioral, clinical, preventive, or epidemiological research may be proposed under this program. Proposed research should reflect the highest possible scientific standards, as well as shared interests, international and local public health needs and priorities, and involve mutually advantageous collaborations among institutions, including participating communities and other partners. This FOAs will encourage collaboration with underrepresented scientists within South Africa.
