Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 19 243
The International Bioethics Research Training Program (D43 Clinical Trial Optional), funding opportunity number PAR-19-243, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant initiative designed to strengthen bioethics capacity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Led through NIH's Fogarty International Center (FIC), the program focuses on building a sustainable "critical mass" of trained bioethics scholars based in LMIC research-intensive institutions. The intent is not only to train individuals, but to establish durable institutional expertise so LMIC institutions can independently generate, apply, and lead high-quality ethics scholarship and governance over time.
At the core of this opportunity is support for collaborative LMIC-U.S. institutional training programs that operate at the doctoral and postdoctoral levels. Funded programs are expected to combine structured didactic coursework with mentored research and other training components. The goal is to prepare multiple trainees who can conduct original empirical bioethics research (for example, studying how informed consent works in real-world settings or how research oversight functions in practice) and/or conceptual ethics scholarship (for example, analyzing ethical principles and policy frameworks relevant to local research contexts). This training is meant to be deeply connected to the practical ethical challenges that arise in health research and research policy in LMICs, including issues that emerge as countries expand clinical research, genomics, data sharing, public health surveillance, and international collaborations.
A major emphasis of the program is leadership development. Trainees are expected to be equipped not just to publish scholarship, but to serve as research ethics leaders within their institutions and beyond. That includes contributing to ethics review systems, advising institutional leadership, shaping national or regional policy discussions, and working with international research organizations. In other words, the program aims to create professionals who can bridge rigorous academic bioethics with the real governance needs of health research systems in LMIC settings.
The mechanism is a D43 institutional training grant, and the notice indicates that clinical trials are optional, meaning projects may include clinical trial-related training or research components if appropriate, but they are not required. The opportunity falls under NIH funding activity in health and is associated with CFDA numbers 93.172 and 93.989. The award ceiling listed is $230,000, and the original closing date provided in the source data was 2021-06-04, with the opportunity created on 2019-04-09. Because the closing date shown is in the past, anyone interested would typically look for a reissue, renewal, or related active NIH Fogarty training opportunity, but the summary here reflects the content and intent of the listed announcement.
Eligibility is broad across higher education and certain specialized institutions. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other organizations as permitted by NIH. The announcement also explicitly notes additional eligible applicant types such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISI), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations). This emphasis aligns with the program's international and partnership-driven structure, where strong LMIC institutional participation is central.
Overall, PAR-19-243 is structured to help LMIC institutions develop enduring bioethics training pipelines that produce scholars and leaders capable of addressing locally relevant ethical questions in health research and influencing the policies and practices that govern that research. The model is explicitly collaborative, pairing LMIC institutions with U.S. partners to deliver rigorous doctoral and postdoctoral training while ensuring that the expertise ultimately strengthens ethics scholarship and oversight capacity where it is most needed.Apply for PAR 19 243
