[ Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation - Campylobacter spp. Transmission Dynamins in Low-and Middle-Income Countries | Research Funding]
Event details
| Date | 02.05.2018 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: In this new Grand Challenge, we solicit proposals to examine the transmission of Campylobacter spp. in communities. Proposals responsive to this call will generate data to understand the sources of Campylobacter infection in children in LMICs, and the dynamics of transmission in LMIC communities of interest. Analyses of these data are expected to address the question of whether a human vaccine for Campylobacter is a necessary and appropriate strategy in spite of the complexities associated with auto-immune responses to Campylobacter antigens. Alternatively, studies will address whether an avian Campylobacter vaccine, sanitation and hygiene measures, or behavioral interventions that promote the segregation of young children from domestic birds and animals—alone or in combination—are effective in preventing Campylobacter infections in children.
Funding: No set funding ceiling, but project goals must be attainable in less than two years.
Eligibility: Grand Challenges is open to both foreign and domestic organizations, including non-profit organizations, for-profit companies, international organizations, government agencies and academic institutions.
How to Apply: Applicants should first submit a letter of interest (LOI) detailing their research idea. The LOI should highlight the goals, study design, investigator capabilities, and budget for the project. The most promising applicants will then be invited to submit a full proposal.
Application Deadline: LOI due Wednesday 02 May 2017, 11:30 am PST (20:30 CEST)
