NIH-NSF has recently announced a call for application for the Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases Program.
The purpose of the Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases (EEID) Program is to support multidisciplinary teams in the development of predictive models that integrate ecology and evolution with the goal of discovering principles governing the transmission dynamics of infectious disease agents to humans and other hosts. Proposed projects should include research and associated expertise in diverse disciplines including, for example, modelers, bioinformaticians, genomics researchers, social scientists, economists, epidemiologists, entomologists, parasitologists, microbiologists, bacteriologists, virologists, pathologists or veterinarians, as relevant to understanding the disease transmission system proposed. The EEID program scope includes socio-ecology, pathogen evolution and translational research in the overall context of the ecology of disease transmission.
The FIC mission prioritizes collaborative projects with scientists in LMICs focused on significant health threats in their countries. The NIGMS mission prioritizes basic biomedical research that increases understanding of life processes and lays the foundation for advances in disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention. The NIAID conducts and supports basic and applied research to better understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases. Other NIH components have participated in the past and may do so again in the current cycle
Application Deadline: November 18, 2015
Duration of project: Maximum 5 years
Project Budget: up to 350,000USD Direct Costs per year
