The U.S. Department of State plays an important role in the NIH international grants awarding process by reviewing grants and awards with foreign components (i.e. foreign institution, foreign researcher, or research conducted outside of the U.S.) to ensure consistency with U.S. foreign policy objectives. Data is submitted to the State Department from NIH's Fogarty International Center through the Foreign Award and Component Tracking System (FACTS).
