For Researchers
NIAID and NIH offer a number of funding opportunities, including grants and contracts to conduct basic research, preclinical development, or clinical evaluation.
Potential Funding Opportunities:
NIAID partners with leaders in the field of infectious disease research to better understand the diseases and move forward toward better prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
DMID supports a comprehensive set of resources for researchers. Their purpose is to facilitate the preclinical and clinical research needed to translate the ideas generated through basic research into safe and effective drugs, vaccines, and diagnostics to control and prevent infectious diseases.
Policies and procedures are essential to any clinical research enterprise. In this regard, the Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases has standardized and harmonized operational procedures across research areas.
