What funding opportunities are available for applicants from foreign countries?
Non-USA citizens and organizations may apply for NIH grants. There are some limitations on types and amounts of grants. Foreign investigators would, for example, need to indicate how the proposed research would be relevant to the public health of the people of the U.S.A. A Kirschstein-NRSA individual fellowship award is made only to a U.S. citizen or a non-citizen national.
