Notice of NIH Participation in the Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases Program (EEID)

Notice Number: NOT-TW-19-007

NIH is collaborating on the multi-agency funding opportunity, the Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases (EEID) (NSF-19-592)

Funding Opportunity Purpose

The central theme of submitted EEID projects must be quantitative or computational understanding of pathogen transmission dynamics. The intent is discovery of principles of infectious disease transmission and testing mathematical or computational models that elucidate infectious disease systems. Projects should be broad, interdisciplinary efforts that go beyond the scope of typical studies.

Award Budget and Project Period

It is anticipated the EEID program will issue approximately ten awards (through all EEID partners combined) in Fiscal Year 2020 for projects to begin in the summer of 2020, subject to the availability of funds. The maximum total (for all years) award size is $2.5 million, including indirect costs, and the maximum award duration is five years. Awards made by components of the NIH may receive support of up to $350,000 in direct costs per year for up to five years. The NIH will consider both EEID research applications and Research Coordination Network (RCN) applications.

Release Date: August 28, 2019

Applications must be submitted to the NSF in accordance with NSF-19-592, and not to the NIH

*Applicants are encouraged to apply early to allow adequate time to make any corrections to errors found in the application during the submission process by the due date.

Expiration Date: November 20, 2019 (current cycle)

Deadline

The deadline for submission to NSF is November 20, 2019. In subsequent years, the deadline is the third Wednesday in November.
