The Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program (IFP)
The International Fellowships Program was launched with a grant from the Ford Foundation in 2001. The program offers fellowships for post-graduate study to leaders from underserved communities in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Russia.
Fellowship recipients are exceptional individuals with demonstrated social commitment and academic achievement. Typically, they are men and women who have overcome obstacles such as poverty and discrimination to gain access to higher education, and they aspire to work for social justice in their home communities upon completion of their studies.
Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program applicants must be resident nationals or residents of an eligible IFP country or territory. Currently, these are: Brazil, Chile, China, Egypt, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Mozambique, Nigeria, Palestinian Territories, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda, and Vietnam. IFP selects Fellows on the strength of their clearly-stated intention to serve their communities and countries of origin, and expects that they will honor this obligation.

Federal Government Grants
Community based HIV/AIDS Prevention-Angola
Closing date: Aug 17, 2010
URL: http://bit.ly/cZE4sy
The purpose is to reduce HIV incidence by preventing HIV transmission among the general population. The program will do this by strengthening the protective behaviors of at-risk adults, at-risk youth, and their sexual partners to prevent HIV transmission and strengthening Angolan entities' capacity to coordinate and deliver comprehensive and sustainable community-based HIV prevention initiatives.
Most-at-Risk Population Prevention Program in Angola
Closing date: Aug 23, 2010
URL: http://bit.ly/bBjWgp
The purpose of the Cooperative Agreement contemplated by this solicitation is to reduce HIV incidence by preventing HIV transmission between MARPs and their sexual partners. The program will do this by strengthening (a) the protective behaviors of MARPs and their partners to prevent HIV transmission and (b) the environment at national and lower levels for civil society-led advocacy, networking, and collaboration with GRA and stakeholders.
Informed Decision-Making in Young Adolescents at Risk for HIV/AIDS
Closing date: Aug 31, 2010
URL: http://bit.ly/bsTIvv
The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) invites interdisciplinary formative research projects attempting to explore the neurological basis of HIV/AIDS risk avoidance decision-making among young adolescents. Additional research is needed on HIV prevention interventions developed within social and gender constructs of adolescents that consider neurocognitive development and investigate neurocognitive variables. Prevention strategies that consider social, cultural and gender constructs in combination with neurological and cognitive maturity may offer increased intervention effectiveness for reducing HIV risk in younger adolescents. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R01 award mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. A total of $2.6 Million has been committed to this FOA for FY2011. It is anticipated that 4-6 projects will be funded.
Seek, Test, Treat, and Retain: Addressing HIV among Vulnerable Populations (R01)
Closing date: Nov 15, 2010
URL: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-DA-11-001.html
This FOA solicits R01 applications for both domestic and international studies that test the seek, test, treat, and retain paradigm. This paradigm predicts that expanding HIV testing and reducing viral load among HIV+ individuals through HAART therapy can be effective in reducing the HIV transmission at a population level. In particular, this FOA focuses on research on expanding HAART therapy coverage to reduce HIV transmission among high-risk, vulnerable populations
Collaborative HIV/AIDS Studies in the Middle East and North Africa (R21)
Closing date: May 7, 2011
URL: http://bit.ly/afb6BL
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), and the Fogarty International Center (FIC). The Fogarty International Center will accept only secondary assignments for potential co-funding with an Institute designated as primary assignee. The aim of this FOA is to invite applications for collaborations for exploratory and developmental work on HIV/AIDS in the low and middle income countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), as defined by the World Bank: Algeria, Djibouti, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Syria, Tunisia, West Bank and Gaza, and Yemen. Specific areas of research include, but aren't limited to, epidemiologic studies, prevention research from both biomedical and social/behavioral perspectives, studies of social factors affecting the spread of HIV in the region, and research on women and youth. Collaborations must involve U.S. investigators from a partnering U.S. organization and one or more research teams in the MENA region. The collaborative effort supported through the R21 should help foster the development of HIV-relevant research infrastructure and expertise in the region and have the potential to lead to further research and improvements in public health.
Integrating Biobehavioral and Sociocultural Research to Prevent HIV Transmission and Infection (R01) & (R21)
Closing date: May 7, 2011
URL: http://bit.ly/9tkZmD; http://bit.ly/cSVBLH
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits Research Project (R01) grant applications from applicant organizations to develop theoretically grounded approaches to prevention of HIV infection and transmission that incorporate biobehavioral approaches in studies that are culturally appropriate. Biobehavioral approaches may be biomedical, or they may consist of behavioral interventions using biological markers of efficacy. Sociocultural appropriateness involves, at minimum, application of knowledge of the norms, beliefs and values of potential research subjects in varied contexts, and an appreciation of culture as dynamic. It is anticipated that such knowledge will improve both the quality and applicability of research among the diverse populations affected by the pandemic, in the US or abroad. Intervention and pre-intervention studies are welcomed, but descriptive ethnographic and epidemiological research is still needed in some areas. For example, descriptive research may delineate the impact of cultural variables on behaviors that impede or promote biological markers (e.g., seroconversion), lead to a better understanding of ethical concerns in biomedical preventive studies, or may illuminate as yet unrecognized issues concerned with adherence to a prevention interventions. Intervention studies should evaluate the efficacy of biomedical interventions, or of behavioral interventions that also use biological variables, in light of the sociocultural context.
