APHL, in collaboration with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has developed a series of free, interactive modules called Essentials for the Mycobacteriology Laboratory: Promoting Quality Practices to promote competency, quality and safety in common mycobacteriology testing practices.

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.

This course requires about 40 total hours to complete. It is self-paced, has open enrollment, and can be accessed for 60 days.

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.

Contacts: Marina Protopopova marina.protopopova@nih.gov Kristen Porter kristen.porter@nih.gov Objective: The objectives of this NOSI are to 1) support the development of innovative sustained release (SR)/long-acting (LA) products and strategies that provide a minimum of 3 months of HIV treatment or prevention and 2) develop SR/LA strategies for a minimum of once-a-month treatment of tuberculosis and hepatitis B in people living with HIV, and a once-a-month treatment of hepatitis C with the ultimate goal to develop a one-shot cure of hepatitis C. Description: This initiative is focused on the development of innovative technologies to enable intermittent dosing to treat and prevent HIV and HIV co-infections. Use of samples from clinical trials supported elsewhere and animal research including nonhuman primates may be supported. Clinical trials are not allowed. There is no set-aside funding for this NOSI.

This online course from The Union will provide researchers with the relevant knowledge and skills to be able to plan, design, and write grants in their own right. It is available to all audiences as an asynchronous online learning option with a mix of educational units of about 20 min each. A variety of engaging activities such as polls, quizzes, small case studies, multiple-choice questions are used to support learner engagement.

We invite applications for the Pivot Fellowship program which will support researchers who have a strong track record of success and achievement in their current field, and a deep interest, curiosity and drive to make contributions to a new discipline. The fellowship will enable today’s brightest minds to apply their talent and expertise to a new field and will consist of one training year where the fellow will be embedded in a lab of a mentor to learn the new discipline and its culture. Mentorship and support are essential for learning a new discipline and culture. In addition to the qualifications and potential of the applicant, the suitability of the mentor and the environment for mentorship will be strongly considered in the application process.
