The Clinical Research and Field Studies of Infectious Diseases [CRFS] Study Section reviews applications that address population-based studies on the emergence, spread, control, and prevention of infectious diseases (including potential agents of bioterrorism) that affect humans.  Specific areas covered by CRFS: 

  • Design and execution of investigator-initiated clinical studies for testing agents or strategies for preventing or treating infectious diseases
  • Identification of factors involved in the pathogenesis, emergence and spread of infectious diseases.
  • Diagnostics for the detection, identification, and surveillance of infectious diseases
  • Molecular epidemiology of infectious diseases, including genetic characterization of both the pathogen and the host
  • Studies that address the potential infectious etiology of human disease

Study sections with most closely related areas of similar science listed in rank order are:

Infectious Diseases, Reproductive Health, Asthma and Pulmonary Conditions [IRAP] 
Bacterial Pathogenesis [BACP] 
Pathogenic Eukaryotes [PTHE] 
Host Interactions with Bacterial Pathogens [HIBP]
