The International Research Scientist Development Award (IRSDA) (K01) provides support and protected time (3-5 years) to advanced postdoctoral U.S. research scientists and recently appointed junior faculty for an intensive, mentored research career development experience in a low- or middle-income country (LMIC), as defined by the World Bank. The goal is to help researchers develop independently funded research careers focused on global health. Applicants must propose career development activities and a research project relevant to the health priorities of the LMIC under the mentorship of both LMIC and U.S. mentors. Independent Clinical Trials are not allowed.
