What definition does the NIH use for “Developing” Countries?
For purposes of this Guidance, “developing countries” are defined as the low- and middle-income economies, using World Bank classifications. The World Bank’s main criterion for classifying economies is gross national income (GNI) per capita, calculated using the World Bank Atlas method. Classification by income does not necessarily reflect development status. The developing countries include: low income , $735 or less; lower middle income , $736 – $2,935; and upper middle income , $2,936 – $9,075. See http://www.worldbank.org/data/countryclass/classgroups.htm for a list of the countries included in each group.
