ACTIONS FOR BUILDING CAPACITY (ABC) PROGRAM Release Date: October 19, 1999 NOTICE: TW-00-001 Fogarty International Center A limited competition is announced by the Fogarty International Center (FIC) for the RFA "Actions for Building Capacity Program (ABC) in Support of the International Collaborations in Infectious Diseases Research (ICIDR)." The purpose of the ABC is to stimulate high quality training and to support current and future collaborative training-related research on infectious diseases that are predominantly endemic in or impact upon people living in tropical countries. The intent of the ABC is to provide training opportunities for foreign investigators which will build research capacity and strengthen foreign and U.S. cooperation on tropical infectious diseases. The NIAID-funded ICIDR (RFA AI-98-009) and companion ABC (RFA TW 98-004) were competed in FY 1999. To receive an ABC, the PI had to have received an ICIDR award. Of 15 ICIDR awardees, six qualified for ABCs. Hence, in FY 2000 a new ABC limited competition is open to those nine ICIDR programs without an ABC. Letters will be sent to those qualified ICIDR awardees inviting them to apply for the new ABC award. INQUIRIES Questions about this limited competition may be directed to: Joel Breman, M.D., D.T.P.H.
