ISID Small Grants Program

[Guest guest]

The ISID Small Grants Program is designed to fund pilot research

projects by young investigators in developing countries. The goal is

to support and foster the professional development of young

individuals in the field of infectious diseases research by helping

them to acquire additional skills and data to apply for other grants.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to investigations of

the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis or treatment of

infectious diseases, the epidemiology and control of hospital-

acquired infections, and modeling of cost effective interventions.

Proposals will be reviewed by members of the Professional Development

Working Group and decisions made in collaboration with the President

and the Program Director.

Upon completion of the project, a written report of the project must

be sent to the Society. The Society encourages recipients of grants

to present their results at scientific meetings and to submit them

for publication in peer-reviewed journals.

Deadlines

Up to five grants of up to US $6,000 each will be awarded annually.

Deadlines for submission of proposals are April 1 (notification after

June 1) and October 1 (notification after December 1).
