About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health Fogarty International Center is forecasting a partnership grant opportunity with the Research Council of Finland to expand U.S.-Finland biomedical and behavioral research collaboration, with no hard application deadline specified in this forecast announcement. U.S. institutions must include significant collaboration with Finnish investigators approved by the Research Council of Finland; RCF will fully fund the Finnish research component while participating NIH Institutes and Centers fund the U.S. component.
Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), 501(c)(3) nonprofits, small businesses, state and local governments, tribal governments (federally recognized and other), faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, foreign components as defined in the NIH Grant Policy Statement, and other eligible domestic and foreign entities. Specific eligibility may vary by funding mechanism and will be detailed in individual Requests for Applications.
The program addresses priority research areas including population health, disease prevention, artificial intelligence in health, and quantum sensing in biomedical applications. The program operates under CFDA 93.989, International Research and Research Training, and is authorized under Sections 301, 307, and 482 of the Public Health Service Act.
Review occurs in two stages: initial scientific and technical merit assessment by a Center for Scientific Review panel, followed by evaluation by the Fogarty International Center's Advisory Board. Evaluation criteria include scientific merit and significance, experimental design adequacy, investigator competency, facility and resource adequacy, budget necessity, and relevance to program objectives. Award decisions are made by FIC program officers and executive leadership. No cost share requirement is stated. Record retention obligations follow 45 CFR 75 requirements, generally three years from submission of final financial reports.

U.S. institutions will be encouraged to submit applications that must include significant collaboration with Finnish investigators who have received permission from RCF to participate in the joint research program.
