The following information has been added:
NIH IC Partner Interests
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is interested in applications that promote the prevention and treatment of heart, lung, blood, or sleep (HLBS) disorders in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). 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 across the spectrum of research disciplines is 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 on research skills, research design and methodology, ethics, data management and analysis, grant writing, manuscript writing, scientific presentations and research administration should be included in the career development plan. Mentors should have strong track records in HLBS research and training early stage investigators for independent research careers. The mentored research career development experience should lead to an independently-funded research career on HLBS diseases and disorders across the lifespan and build scientific capacity for HLBS research at LMIC institutions.
