The Fogarty International Center, with NINDS, NIMH, NIA, NIEHS, NICHD, NEI, NIDCD, and NCCIH, intends to continue support of neuro-health research through the Global Brain and Nervous System Disorders Research Across the Lifespan program. Awards will catalyze and strengthen collaborative research on the brain and nervous system that leverages the unique scientific contexts of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) not readily present in the United States and, subsequently, optimizes our potential to address health needs in the U.S. and globally. Research on the full spectrum of neuro-health across the lifespan is encouraged - including neurological, neuromuscular, sensory, neuropsychiatric, neuroinfectious, cognitive, behavioral, and neurodevelopmental disease - and encompassing basic, clinical, translational, and implementation research approaches. Projects will foster collaborations between scientists in the U.S. and LMICs to drive scientific advancement and the development of innovative, cost-effective interventions spanning the care continuum –– from diagnosis through treatment and implementation.
