RePORT International Resources

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.

Join Partners In Health (PIH) for an inspiring conversation between Ophelia Dahl, PIH co-founder and chair of the board of directors, and John Green, PIH trustee and bestselling author. Together, they’ll discuss John’s journey with PIH to create change and save lives around the globe, specifically in maternal health and tuberculosis care, and the ways Ophelia and John both harness the power of community and storytelling to create a more just world.

A discussion including leading TB experts, authors, and thought leaders to shed light on how actions from the Trump administration affect patients and the long fight against TB.

The Calmette & Yersin Programme internship grants aim to support Pasteur Network scientists, whether they are students, technicians, engineers or researchers to carry out an internship within the network. The purpose of the internship os to reinforce the intern's skills in his/her field of research and to reinforce the capacities of the institute of origin. Any subject covered by a Pasteur Network institute laboratory: research into infectious diseases (infectious physiopathology, immunology, microbiology, epidemiology, virology, parasitology) and public health activities (diagnosis, monitoring, resistance, etc.). It must be consistent with the candidate's research area. Calendar for 2025 Selection: 5th of March 20th of June (deadline extended) 17th of September 10th of December

Applications are now being accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis. There is no deadline to apply! The Public Health Laboratory Fellowship Program aims to strengthen laboratory systems and workforce needs by developing the next generation of public health scientists! Thus, the fellowship program will focus on training participants in alignment with established laboratory core competencies and offer experiential learning opportunities across laboratory science focus areas. Fellowship terms are one year, with a possible extension for a second year, depending on the fellowship and funding availability. ​​ APHL offers flexible start dates to meet fellow's and mentor's needs. ​ Fellows will work on projects specific to a laboratory science focus area that will support public health, One Health, and other initiatives. Below are examples of the different focus areas fellows could be matched with and placed into: Bioinformati​​​cs​ Biorisk Management Emergency Preparedness and Response Environmental Health Food Safety Infectious Disease Informatics Laboratory Operations and Support Services Quality Management Radiochemistry Ronald H. Laessig Newborn Screening​ Fellows are placed in host laboratories which include state and local public health laboratories and non-federal academic, agricultural, chemical, environmental, food safety and veterinary laboratories. Regardless of host laboratory type, the fellow will still be trained in techniques and competencies that are transferrable to a career in public health laboratory science.
