International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups (Icbg): The National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (hereafter "the Government" or "the Participating Agencies") invite applications for the establishment or continuation of "International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups" to address the interdependent issues of biodiversity conservation, economic capacity, and human health through discovery and development of therapeutic agents for diseases of importance in developing countries as well as those important to developed countries. Innovative and integrated approaches to access to genetic resources and benefit-sharing with host country stakeholders and participants is an important component of the overall program. Particularly relevant disease areas and health needs include cancer, HIV-AIDS and its opportunistic infections, tuberculosis, malaria, and other emerging diseases, mental disorders of adults and children, drug abuse and cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Applications that propose to work on marine coral reef organisms, endophytic fungi, extremophilic bacteria and other poorly understood groups are particularly encouraged. Applications that propose to work primarily with plants for pharmaceutical drug discovery, are encouraged to propose research and training related to phytomedicine analysis. Research and capacity building toward the development of agricultural agents is permissible as a secondary activity where it complements work on human health agents. For the purposes of this program, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will be allocated funds from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) and the USDA Forest Service (FS). The Fogarty International Center (FIC) of the NIH will administer this program under the authority and regulations of the Public Health Service (PHS). The unifying theme underlying the International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups (ICBG) program is the concept that the discovery and development of pharmaceutical and other useful agents from natural products can, under appropriate circumstances, promote economic opportunities and enhanced research capacity in developing countries while conserving the biological resources from which these products are derived. This RFA calls for the development of interdisciplinary programs through the establishment or continuation of International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups (ICBGs), with active and substantial participation by U.S. and developing country scientists and institutions. It is the intent of this RFA to promote the conservation of biological diversity through the discovery of bioactive agents from natural products, and to ensure that benefits accruing from both the research process and any discoveries are shared with the country of origin. The RFA is seeking applications that will build institutional relationships with developing countries that will continue to grow beyond the life of the RFA and will serve as effective models for others to develop similar relationships. This third RFA of the International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups program represents a maturation of the ten-year-old program and includes several changes from the previous RFAs, to now include increased emphasis on drug development and increased integration of conservation and development activities.
