Fogarty International Center Announces First Awards for

Collaborative Research Program for Brain Disorders in the Developing

World

Bethesda, land — The Fogarty International Center (FIC) of the

National Institutes of Health (NIH) and eight NIH partners* announce

31 new research planning grants to support international

collaborations to study brain disorders in developing countries. The

current combined financial commitment from FIC and its partners for

the first phase of this program is approximately $8.1 million to

support these two-year grants.

Dr. Flanigan, Miriam Hospital, Providence, Rhode Island,

will collaborate with researchers at YRG Care, Chennai, India on a

study that examines neurocognitive consequences of HIV/AIDS in South

India, where treatment of HIV with highly active antiretroviral

therapy is frequently delayed or unavailable, resulting in a high

prevalence of HIV-associated problems, including severe

immunosuppression and brain dysfunction.
