This webinar series is about using social and behavioural sciences for infectious disease prevention. Each webinar can be followed separately. Duration: Approximately 1.5 hour per webinar. Audience: The webinars are intended for anyone interested in using social and behavioural sciences for infectious disease prevention, and working in: public health authorities (at national, regional or local level), universities or research institutions, civil society or community-based organisations. Objectives: Each webinar has a set of specific objectives. The series covers a wide range of topics related to the use of social and behavioural sciences for infectious disease prevention. Participation: The webinars are free, simply log in to the Learning Portal to view the recordings and summaries.

You will learn how theories and models underpin frameworks to help understand the behaviour change process, demonstrate how they are integrated and discover and apply the World Health Organization's principles and steps for applying a behavioural perspective to Public Health.

This report provides an overview of the latest TB epidemiological situation. It is published jointly by the WHO Regional Office for Europe and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.

The EDCTP Knowledge Hub is designed to equip researchers with the tools and guidance needed to conduct high-quality health research. It includes the Protocol Development Toolkit, Data Management Portal, Data Sharing Toolkit, and Research into Policy Toolkit—guiding researchers from formulating a question to sharing data and translating findings into policy and practice, all within key research frameworks.

This new open-access toolkit aims to support researchers, policymakers and health leaders to work together so that evidence leads to real-world impact, by the EDCTP Knowledge Hub. The toolkit has been funded by the UK Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) through the EDCTP Association.

The Global Health Network, EDCTP, and Women’s College Hospital at the University of Toronto have extended their partnership to provide continued access to the SPIRIT Electronic Protocol Tool and Resource (SEPTRE) platform. Through this collaboration, a limited number of free three-year licenses remain available for researchers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) who may not otherwise afford access. SEPTRE is an online tool that helps researchers design, manage, and register high-quality clinical trial protocols in line with the SPIRIT (Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials) guidelines, which were updated in 2025. The update introduced new sections on open science, harms assessment, intervention descriptions, and patient and public involvement. Applications can be submitted through the EDCTP Knowledge Hub SEPTRE enquiry form. Applicants should be located in a low- or middle-income country (preference is given to researchers based in Africa and who are members of the EDCTP Knowledge Hub). We encourage applicants via the form to state their goals and objectives to apply for a SEPTRE license and the research they want to undertake. Successful applicants agree that they will submit a yearly report on how they have made use of the license.

The goal of the Fogarty Emerging Global Leader Award is to provide research support and protected time (three to five years) to a low- or middle-income country (LMIC) early career research scientist who holds a junior faculty position at an LMIC academic or research institution, as defined by the World Bank (http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-classifications/country-and-lending-groups, including “low-income,” “lower-middle-income,” and “upper-middle-income” countries, with exceptions below (see Section III. Eligibility Information)). This intensive, mentored research career development experience is expected to lead to an independently funded research career at the LMIC institution or in another LMIC. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications from LMIC scientists from any health-related discipline who propose career development activities and a research project that is relevant to the health priorities of their country under the mentorship of LMIC and U.S. mentors. Please refer to the website for detail announcement and key dates.

The European Research Council (ERC) is a funding organisation for frontier research. It aims to stimulate scientific excellence in Europe by funding the very best, creative researchers of any nationality and age, and supporting their innovative ideas. Researchers from anywhere in the world can apply for ERC grants provided the research they undertake will be carried out in an EU Member State or Associated Country.

The development of an effective tuberculosis (TB) vaccine is crucial for global health. This webinar addresses the urgent need to understand the current landscape of TB vaccine research, ongoing clinical trials, and potential timelines for vaccine rollout. It's important to cover this topic to keep healthcare professionals and researchers informed about the latest advancements and challenges in TB vaccine development.

Toolkit and resources to support Researchers

The ERC plans to launch the grant competitions under its 2027 Work Programme between July 2026 and June 2027, with the calls for proposals introducing several changes to the eligibility rules for applications. Please refer to the website for the details.

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.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: 31 October 2026 There are up to two awards made each year available: one for clinical research and the other one for basic research. These awards will be made to outstanding young investigators in the field of paediatric infectious diseases. he winner will receive: Euro 5,000 to be paid to the host institution for research purposes only. The host institution is not allowed to take any overhead on this amount (see declaration below) At the time of being offered the award successful candidates will be invited to attend that year's ESPID Annual Meeting with registration, travel and accommodation being offered (if already registered, this will be refunded).

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.

Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Tuberculosis (FACIT-TB): For patients with tuberculosis. This validated questionnaire can be used with person with active TB to assess both physical and mental well being in a clincal or resarch setting. It is available in Arabic English, Indonesian, Sinhala, Tagalog, and Urdu.

This guide has comprehensive training tools and strategies for a trainer to provide a group course on human subjects research. It was last reviewed in 2012.

From 1995 to 2025, over 4 million dollars in grants have been awarded for community projects and clinical or basic science research projects related to tuberculosis (TB) and chronic pulmonary diseases in pediatric and adult populations. Project Visibility: - Presented at national and international conferences - Published in peer-reviewed journals - Highlighted in local news conferences - Impact - Projects have enhanced clinical teachings and patient care of TB through numerous routes:
