NIH Proposals & Awards with International Components

This message was sent to all active PIs and MRAM. 

As of February 2026, there is one Parent NOFO that supports International Collaborations: PA-26-002 – NIH Collaborative International Research Project (Parent PF5 Clinical Trial Optional).

We understand that there are questions about preparing NIH proposals with international components and have some resources to share with you. We will continue to monitor sponsor guidance and update UW resources as we learn more.
