The National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) (hereafter "the Government" or "the Participating Agencies") invite applications for the establishment of "International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups" (ICBG) to address the interdependent issues of biodiversity conservation, economic capacity, and human health through discovery and development of therapeutic agents for diseases of importance in developing countries, as well as those important to developed countries. Eligibility for this competition is limited to groups that are currently funded by ICBG R21 planning grant awards issued in 2003. The overall goals of the ICBG Program are drug discovery, biodiversity conservation, and economic development.
This RFA will use the NIH U01 award mechanism (Cooperative Agreement) and will support awards of up to $600,000 per year in direct costs for up to four years to carry out the full spectrum of ICBG research and development activities in this RFA.
