A few examples of work that would be considered for funding:
- Proposals that quantify the contribution of various drivers and/or interventions on the global emergence and spread of AMR.
- Novel metrics and analytic approaches (e.g. using previously unappreciated data/sources or new analytical methods) to provide a more complete picture of the scale, impact, or dynamics of global AMR.
- Integrated approaches to understanding and describing the association between resistance patterns, anti-microbial use, access, and health and economic burden.
- Proposals focused on creating novel high-level, scalable systems architecture (e.g. data sources and streams) and activities necessary to transform global AMR epidemiology.
- Proposals that provide a detailed analysis of the economic and health systems impacts of AMR.
- Non-incremental innovative technology and surveillance platforms capable of accelerating the generation of robust evidence to document and track the burden of AMR. To be relevant to this call, the proposal should be scalable to a large number of contexts and/or provide generalizable insights.
- Methods to improve surveillance capacity and reporting of AMR beyond enhanced routine surveillance and targeted surveys (e.g. the application of genomics and machine learning)
