BWF’s financial support is channeled primarily through competitive peer-reviewed award programs. BWF makes grants primarily to degree-granting institutions on behalf of individual researchers. To complement these competitive award programs, BWF also makes grants to nonprofit organizations conducting activities intended to improve the general environment for science. Please refer to the website for upcoming funding deadlines.

LOI DEADLINE: 16 July 2026 FULL PROPOSAL SUBMISSION: 2 October 2026 The Investigators in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease (PATH) program provides opportunities for assistant professors to bring multidisciplinary approaches to studying human infectious diseases. The program aims to provide accomplished investigators at the assistant professor level with opportunities to study what happens at the points where the systems of humans and potentially infectious agents connect. The program supports research that sheds light on the fundamentals that affect the outcomes of these encounters: how colonization, infection, commensalism, and other relationships play out at levels ranging from molecular interactions to systemic ones. PATH is a highly competitive award program that provides $505,000 over five years to study pathogenesis. The program intends to give recipients the freedom and flexibility to pursue new avenues of inquiry, stimulating higher-risk research projects that hold potential for significantly advancing our understanding of how infectious diseases work and how health is maintained.

BIO Ventures for Global Health (BVGH) hosts a 10-session digital lecture series focused on essential grant writing concepts and tailored to meet the needs of clinicians and researchers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The series runs through February 2024.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will provide the early stage translational support needed for prototype testing/design modification, assay development for diagnostic disease targets, and development of research tools for use in the treatment of heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) diseases and disorders. This NOFO is part of a suite of Catalyze innovation grants to advance projects to the point where they can meet the entry criteria for the NHLBI Catalyze Preclinical program or attract independent development support from other federal or private partners for preclinical product optimization and characterization. Please refer to the website for detail announcement and key dates.

This CDC resource provides up-to-date surveillance data and statistics on tuberculosis (TB) in the United States.

A library of resources for the prevention, management, and elimination of TB.

NEEMA supports development of a variety of web- and spreadsheet-based tools designed to provide state health policy makers and practitioners with information on local population sizes, disease trends, and cost projects for a variety of prevention strategies related to TB and other diseases.

CDC has developed multiple tools for use in management and analysis of data collected during TB contact, cluster, and outbreak investigations.

The Translating Research into Practice (TRiP) Workgroup was formed in 2006 by the Tuberculosis Epidemiologic Studies Consortium (TBESC) to promote application and dissemination of TBESC research findings to field and public health practice. This website gives public health partners access to select tools and products from TBESC studies.

Professional Resources & Tools from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

This CDC website provides comprehensive information on TB, including symptoms, testing, treatment, prevention, and resources for healthcare providers, public health professionals, and the general public.

The Centers for AIDS Research (CFAR) program at the National Institutes of Health provides administrative and shared research support to synergistically enhance and coordinate high quality AIDS research projects. CFARs accomplish this through core facilities that provide expertise, resources, and services not otherwise readily obtained through more traditional funding mechanisms. Please refer to the website for the details

This insightful CFAR seminar, presented by Dr. Richard Chaisson, tackles the critical question: is global tuberculosis elimination a realistic goal or an overly ambitious dream? Drawing on data and clinical experience, he examines key challenges in TB control—such as diagnostics, treatment access, and systemic barriers—while highlighting strategic priorities for meaningful progress. A must-watch for those working in TB, HIV, and public health.

Most important training for any investigator would be HSP/GCP where they need to learn and understand how Ethical conduct of research is done and why it is important. DAIDS learning portal, HANC network , DAIDS score manual have good training modules .

The Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI Program) is dedicated to serving the training needs of colleges and universities, healthcare institutions, technology and research organizations, and governmental agencies, as they foster integrity and professional advancement of their learners.

NOTE: Candidate application for Class 23 (2025-2027) is closed but refer to the websites for future calls. Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) established the Applied Epidemiology Fellowship (AEF) which is closely designed after the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) program and using a mentorship model to train recent graduates in the expanding field of applied epidemiology. Participating fellows will receive two years of on-the-job training at a state or local health department under the guidance of two experienced mentors.

Covidence is a web-based software platform designed to streamline the process of conducting systematic reviews and other comprehensive literature reviews. It facilitates tasks such as citation screening, full-text review, risk of bias assessment, data extraction, and export of data and references.

This podcast features Dr. Valwynne Faulkner, a postdoctoral researcher at the Francis Crick Institute and a LifeArc Knowledge Transfer Innovations Fellow. Her work bridges cutting-edge molecular biology and technology transfer. In this episode, she discusses her team's innovative use of CRISPR to uncover new strategies for tackling tuberculosis — including drug-resistant strains.
