NIH forecasts AIDS research data consortium funding; tribal governments may apply
National Institutes of HealthNational Institute of Allergy and Infectious DiseasesFunding availableOct 13, 2026
Check: The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID, part of NIH) forecasts a funding opportunity (-AI-28-025) for the Implementation and Evaluation of Databases to Examine AIDS Consortium, and lists non-federally-recognized tribal governments among eligible applicants with no (money reserved for a specific group).
What it does
Tribal governments that are not federally recognized are listed as eligible applicants, but the opportunity requires a funded international collaboration: a domestic prime organization must work with foreign organizations through a foreign subaward (funding passed to a partner). The text says it should not be used where the only international elements are foreign consultants, unique equipment from foreign vendors, or collaborations without NIH funding. The forecast gives an estimated posting date of 2027-02-18 and an estimated application due date of 2027-05-27 for fiscal year 2028.
Why it matters for tribal funding

Who it covers: Tribal governments.
