PAR-03-118, Global Health Research Initiative Program for New Foreign Investigators (GRIP), was published in the NIH Guide on May 16, 2003. The FIC and partner Institutes and Offices are expanding the eligibility criteria, as noted below. The added criteria are noted by bold, italicized print.

In order to be eligible, foreign scientists must meet at least one of the following criteria:

  1. at least two years of research training experience under a FIC-supported training grant (classified by the D43 International Training Grant mechanism).
  2. one year of such D43 training experience, coupled with one year of significant, well-documented mentored research experience (e.g. through an NIH research award such as the NIAID SMALL RESEARCH (R03) (IRID-NIAID) program).
  3. one year of the NIDA INVEST Fellowship plus at least one additional year of mentored research ( http://www.drugabuse.gov/International/HHHRF.html ).
  4. at least two years of research training experience through the NIH intramural Visiting Fellows Program.
  5. one year of training through an F05, international fellowship program and one subsequent year of mentored research
  6. recipients of Long Term Fellowship awards through the Human Frontier Science Program who came from low- and middle-income countries and who have spent at least two years in research training.

Also, in the section entitled INDIVIDUALS ELIGIBLE TO BECOME PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS, one change is noted as well. It will not be necessary for the NIH intramural researcher to include with the application a letter of pre-approval from the Scientific Director of his or her NIH Institute.
