NIH Research Priorities 5
NIH - A two-component system INTRAMURAL • Conducting research in NIH laboratories. EXTRAMURAL • Supporting the research of non-Federal scientists in universities, medical schools, hospitals, and research institutions throughout the USA and around the world. Supporting the training of research investigators. Fostering communication of medical and health sciences information. 6
NIAID Mission NIAID conducts and supports a global program of research aimed at improving diagnosis, treatment and prevention of immunologic, allergic and infectious diseases. This research has led to new therapies, vaccines, diagnostic tests, and other technologies that have improved the health of millions of people in the United States and around the world.

NIAID's Collaborative Activities with Asian countries Extramural funding - Direct Foreign Awards - Domestic Awards with Foreign Subcomponent Intramural collaborations Networks Joint programs Training and scientific exchange Conferences and workshops Resources available (e.g., reagents, assays, technical consultations)
Example of Joint Programs and Networks – Asia & Pacific Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance Various sites in Southeast Asia International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research Southeast Asia Malaria Research Centers: China, Myanmar, Thailand Southeast Asia Infectious Disease Clinical Research Network Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam U.S.-Japan Cooperative Medical Sciences Program Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) of Japan Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) of Japan U.S.-Japan Framework Initiative for a Safe and Secure Society MEXT of Japan U.S.-China Program for Biomedical Collaborative Research National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)
NIH Participation in e-ASIA JRP - Potential Opportunities Collaborative research : • Joint research projects with individual NIAID scientists, grantees, contractors • Areas of interest include (but not limited to): drug resistant pneumonia, malaria and Tb; dengue; influenza (e.g., H7N9); HIV NIAID Fellowship program : • NIAID intramural labs host and train scientists nominated by e-ASIA members Explore engagement with NIAID research networks • Influenza, malaria, NTDs, HIV/AIDS Data 37
NIH Participation in e-ASIA JRP - Potential Opportunities (2) Scientific conferences to foster collaborations • “Emerging Infectious Diseases Meeting” (Dhaka, Bangladesh: February 2014) – drug resistant bacterial and parasitic diseases • Targeted joint meetings on mutual priority diseases • Potential collaboration seed grants Access to NIAID research resources • Reagents, sequencing, screening, etc… Inclusion of other NIH Institutes and Centers • National Cancer Institute • Fogarty International Center 38
