Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 19 038
The Emerging Global Leader Award (K43 Independent Clinical Trial Required) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-19-038) that supports the Emerging Global Leader Program and has been reissued specifically to align with NIH clinical trials policy. In practical terms, this version of the K43 is designed for applicants whose proposed career development and research plan includes conducting an independent clinical trial, and it is structured to fit NIH requirements for applications that involve clinical trial activity. The funding activity category is listed under education, environment, and health, reflecting its role as a career development-style award that helps build research leadership capacity.
A wide range of organizations can apply. Eligible applicants include many types of U.S. public-sector entities (state, county, city/township, and special district governments), independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. Higher education institutions are eligible across the spectrum, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. Tribal eligibility is broad and includes federally recognized Native American tribal governments as well as Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized. The eligibility list also extends to nonprofits, both those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, other than institutions of higher education). For-profit entities (other than small businesses) and small businesses are also eligible, along with an "other" category that typically captures additional organization types permitted under NIH rules.
The announcement explicitly calls out additional eligible applicant categories, emphasizing inclusion of institutions and organizations that often serve specific communities. These include Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISI), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and faith-based or community-based organizations. It also includes eligible agencies of the federal government and regional organizations, and notes that U.S. territories or possessions are eligible applicants.
At the same time, the notice draws firm boundaries around foreign eligibility. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities (foreign organizations) and foreign institutions are not eligible to apply directly. In addition, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply as applicant components. However, "foreign components" as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement are allowed, meaning that while a foreign institution generally cannot be the applicant organization for this opportunity, certain parts of the research or collaboration may occur outside the United States if they meet NIH's definition and are appropriately justified and compliant with NIH policy.
The opportunity is administered by NIH and is associated with multiple CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) numbers: 93.113, 93.121, 93.172, 93.242, 93.313, 93.398, and 93.853. The listing indicates the original closing date was 2018-11-02, with a creation date of 2018-10-25. The award ceiling and expected number of awards are not specified in the provided text, which usually means applicants must consult the full funding opportunity announcement for budget limits, project period expectations, and any institute-specific caps or considerations.
Finally, the announcement highlights that required registrations apply. For NIH funding, this typically means the applicant organization and key personnel must complete all standard federal and NIH registrations (for example, the usual grants submission and identity/role management systems) before submission, and incomplete registrations can delay or prevent submission. Overall, this reissued K43 is positioned as a career development grant pathway for emerging research leaders working in global health-related contexts, with a specific emphasis on applicants who will lead an independent clinical trial under NIH clinical trials policy.Apply for PAR 19 038
