CONFERENCE DATE: 23-26 June, 2026; LOCATION: Phoenix, AZ, USA SER’s Annual Meeting brings together epidemiologists from around the world for a dynamic four-day experience of learning, connection, and celebration. Please refer to the website for the details.

The conference will be June 8-11, 2026, in Boksburg, Gauteng. The conference experience begins even before the formal programme opens, with pre-conference satellite sessions and continues beyond the core programme through additional satellite sessions and policy roundtables. These half- and full-day engagements are practical, focused, and skills-oriented, enabling delegates to deepen their expertise, engage directly with leading TB practitioners, and explore tools, methods, and implementation strategies applicable to policy, practice, and research. Collectively, these sessions provide space for in-depth discussion on priority issues, innovations, and regional contexts, fostering targeted dialogue, strategic alignment, and collaborative problem-solving among researchers, policymakers, donors, and implementers.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: May 27, 2026 The Global Forum on Bioethics in Research (GFBR) will hold a two-day meeting in November 2026 on the topic ‘Digital footprints and real-time data in the context of health research: ethical issues’ (dates and location to be confirmed). Provisional dates are 17-18 November. The topic scope is described in the Forum background paper. As part of the upcoming meeting, the GFBR is looking for four types of presentation proposals: 1. Real-life case studies that explore ethical dimensions of health research using digital footprints. 2. Conceptual papers that define, clarify, and analyse key moral terms to address ethical dimensions of using digital footprints and real-time data for human health research. 3. Normative papers that provide in-depth ethical analysis or explore unresolved ethical questions related to the use of digital footprints and real-time data in health research. 4. Policy-related papers that address ethical issues that arise from governance or policy matters related to the topic or explore the translation of ethics and value-based decision-making into policy. The background paper provides more details on each type of proposal. We particularly welcome proposals that address the key theme and questions highlighted in the paper, which have been prioritised by the Forum Planning Committee. The GFBR is also seeking participants to attend the meeting, with places awarded on a competitive basis. Awards are available for successful applicants from low- and middle-income countries to cover the cost of their travel, accommodation and single-entry visa. See the GFBR website for details on how to apply online.

Deadline: Rolling Weiss Asset Management Foundation invites proposals from organizations and researchers that engage in highly cost-effective work to alleviate human suffering in low- and lower-middle-income countries. Most grants will range from approximately $50,000 to $1.5 million. There is no lower bound, and in exceptional circumstances, grants may exceed $1.5 million.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: Juen 2, 2026 This funding call will support transdisciplinary teams led from Africa, South Asia or South-East Asia to conduct randomised controlled trials that optimise licensed pharmaceutical interventions for infectious diseases. The clinical trial should generate evidence to inform changes to policy, practice and guidelines, and lead to measurable impact in the communities most affected, ultimately improving the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases in low- and middle-income countries.
