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.

Free access to courses and training materials in infectious disease and public health, available for self-study or to support training others.

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.

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.

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.

This session called for increased domestic TB funding in Africa, private sector engagement, and innovation in service delivery, governance, and regulation—underscoring community-driven and politically aligned strategies.
