Pathogen Biology and Disease Transmission Career Advisory Group - Grant Funding

Pathogen Biology and Disease Transmission Discovery Advisory Group

This advisory group covers applications that aim to improve our understanding of the biology of pathogens and their vectors, and how infectious diseases are transmitted.

Some examples of this are:

infectious diseases of humans, and animals where there is a human health relevance or impact
cellular and molecular studies of pathogens and their vectors, including host-pathogen interactions
mechanisms and emergence of drug-resistance relevant to human health
population and evolution studies of infectious agents & their hosts
environmental factors influencing infection, including disease ecology
studies of microbial populations where they pertain to pathogens and vectors

Proposed projects may span more than one funding area. You should choose the research subject area which aligns with the focus of the project.
