Specific Interests of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is interested in training programs that sustainably strengthen the HIV-associated heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) research capacity of low- and middle-income country (LMIC) institutions; train in-country experts to develop and conduct research to strengthen the HIV research capacity at the proposed LMIC institutions related to HIV-associated HLBS diseases and disorders; and maximize NHLBI’s current global health investments, with the long-range goal of developing and implementing evidence-based, contextualized HIV-associated HLBS interventions to reduce the burden of chronic diseases. Multidisciplinary Training programs 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 support evidence integration and emphasize the resources, context, and needs of multiple stakeholders in local settings. Training programs should include basic research skills, research design and methodology, ethics, data management and analysis, grant writing, manuscript writing, scientific presentations, as well as research administration and execution.

Examples of Research training programs include those that advance clinical translational research in understudied conditions, or those that grow capacity in new approaches to research. These include but are not limited to:

• Research training programs to improve HIV-related cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic sciences and transfusion medicine or sleep health 
• Research training programs identifying prevention, screening, and/or treatment approaches to reduce HLBS disease burden in HIV-infected individuals across the lifespan 
• Research training programs examining basic, epidemiologic, clinical, behavioral, and/or social science questions, related to HIV- and ART-associated HLBS risk factors in adults and aging population to curtail disease progression
• Research training programs deciphering the pathophysiology and mechanisms of disease progression related to HIV-associated HLBS disorders
• Research training programs focused on community-based research related to HIV-associated HLBS risk factors in vulnerable communities using complex/multi-component interventions, structural interventions, comparative effectiveness, impact evaluation or health economics models
• Research training programs focused on dissemination and implementation science, to improve the prevention, care and treatment for HIV-associated HLBS complications
• Research training programs developing cross-disciplinary HIV-associated HLBS studies among vulnerable or under-researched LMIC populations, including women, substance (drug and alcohol) users, men who have sex with men, transgendered populations, aging populations, orphans, and children
• Research training programs focused on data science, biostatistics and bioinformatics capacity to drive clinical translational research in HIV associated HLBS conditions (e.g., data analysis, data management, and data quality assurance and control)
