European Respiratory Society (ERS) Long-Term Research Fellowships support researchers and clinicians in the early stages of their careers to carry out basic, translational or clinical research projects lasting between 6–24 months. Fellowship recipients conduct projects at research institutions outside of their home country, enabling fellows to access and learn research techniques that are not available at their home institutions. Long-term fellowships are awarded annually based on scientific merit as well as the skills and experience that fellows can bring to the host institution.

A career development fellowship sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Fogarty International Center (FIC), this program supports awarded fellows from all 10 UC campuses as well as 22 affiliated international sites across 18 countries. UCGHI manages and supports the GloCal Health Fellowship.

ERC Advanced Grants are designed to support excellent Principal Investigators at the career stage at which they are already established research leaders with a recognised track record of research achievements. Principal Investigators must demonstrate the ground-breaking nature, ambition and feasibility of their research proposal. Please refer to the website for more information

This cross consortium supplemental funding will support cross-cutting research activities and develop or strengthen collaborations across RePORT scientists. Investigators and study populations must derive from at least two RePORT country networks. Submission Deadline Friday, June 21 2024

E.W. "Al" Thrasher Awards focus on projects that are changing pediatric clinical care. Each award is a novel approach to problems plaguing pediatrics. The award is open to applications focusing on any disease or topic within the umbrella of pediatrics, both in and outside the United States. Ideal applications for the Thrasher Award address significant health problems, offering the potential for practical solutions to these problems. Typically, the primary outcome is a health outcome in children. Solutions should be innovative and have the potential for broad applicability with low barriers to implementation. Projects with a shorter distance to clinical applicability are given priority.​

Contact: Roger Ptak Roger.Ptak@nih.gov Objective: This new initiative aims to support investigator-led, multidisciplinary research to define how HIV-driven alterations to immunometabolism affect immune cell regulation, cell-cell interactions, response to treatment, and, ultimately, tuberculosis (TB) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) progression. Elucidating and subsequently probing such mechanisms will lead to identification of candidate biomarkers of disease progression and potential targets for immune-modulatory treatment (i.e., host-directed therapy) to decrease TB and HBV risk in people living with HIV. Description: This initiative will advance laboratory-based research to elucidate immunometabolic pathways and mechanisms that can be exploited for new therapeutic and diagnostic strategies.

L’Initiative encourages the implementation of projects that involve national pandemic response programs, the research community, civil society, and the private sector. The main project initiator must be a legal entity with a board of directors/executive committee and head office registered in an eligible country or in France.

European Respiratory Society (ERS) fellowships offer funding and support for research projects that address unmet needs in respiratory science and medicine. The fellowship programmes seek to actively involve ERS members in the earlier phases of their careers, enabling the training and career development of the next generation of respiratory researchers and clinicians.

Usually application due in November; application opens in August. The Global Health Fellowship Program is a 12-month clinical research training program for post-doctorate trainees and doctoral students in the health professions, sponsored by the NIH’s Fogarty International Center (FIC) in partnership with several NIH Institutes and Centers.

The Global Infectious Disease (GID) research training program addresses research training needs related to infectious diseases that are predominantly endemic in or impact upon people living in developing countries. The training programs include a variety of research training options to match the needs of the developing country institution. Program focus on a major endemic or life-threatening emerging infectious disease, neglected tropical disease, infections that frequently occur as a co-infection in HIV infected individuals, or infections associated with noncommunicable disease conditions of public health importance in LMICs.

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support applications for high-priority, regionally relevant infectious diseases research by international investigators in resource-constrained countries. Applicant organizations must be headquartered in foreign (non-U.S.) resource-constrained countries (i.e. low-income economies, lower-middle-income economies, and upper-middle-income economies by World Bank Classification). Applicant organizations headquartered in low- and lower-middle income economy countries are particularly encouraged to apply. Eligibility status of applicant organizations will be determined by the World Bank Classification list at the time of application submission. Please visit website for more information - deadline appears to be August 02, 2024

The International Research Scientist Development Award (IRSDA) provides support and protected time (three to five years) to advanced postdoctoral U.S. research scientists and recently-appointed U.S. junior faculty (applicants must be at least two years beyond conferral of doctoral degree) for an intensive, mentored research career development experience.

Please note that the submission of projects are allowed for French Research teams. For non-French researchers, they should be presenting their research projects in collaboration with some French research team. All calls and their requirements are mentioned on the ANRS website. It is easier to get this funding for ESI who contribute to some ANRS studies in their respective countries…

The Association of Public Health Labs and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention partner to offer paid laboratory internships to train and prepare college students for careers at public health laboratories. Interns join public health laboratory teams to make an impact on protecting the health of our communities. Interns assist laboratory professionals working on meaningful projects, including infectious diseases.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites eligible academic or research institutions to apply for funding support to purchase latest scientific equipment that will enhance and modernize research-supporting operations of existing shared biomedical research facilities. Targeted are laboratory research core facilities, animal research facilities, and other similar shared-use research spaces. The goal of this NOFO is to strengthen research-auxiliary activities of biomedical research facilities and to enhance the efficiency of their operations. The NOFO does not support the purchase of scientific research instruments or their components, nor components of building-level infrastructure equipment that indirectly support research activities.

Contact: Robert Mahon Robert.Mahon@nih.gov Objective: The scientific objectives of this new initiative are to 1) better understand the types and pathogenesis of long-term lung damage resulting from pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and the role of the host immune response, and 2) identify ways to mitigate lung damage during TB treatment through host-directed therapy. There is no set-aside funding for this NOSI.

SANTHE supports innovative research projects, trainee fellowships, collaborations, leadership development, community and public engagement, and diversity and inclusion in science.
