  • increase their stipend for financial flexibility; 
  • participate in training and networking opportunities through meopar; 
  • present and discuss results at national and international conferences and other fora;
  • purchase or fund specialized equipment, travel, or supplies for their research; or
  • offset costs associated with publication. 

 

application instructions and eligibility criteria are available on meopar’s website:

grand challenges explorations - brazil: new approaches to characterize the global burden of antimicrobial resistance

how to apply: 

we seek new approaches that have the potential to transform public health action on a regional or global scale by identifying and filling gaps in knowledge on the burden of resistance to antibacterial agents – we are not seeking incremental improvements in typical disease surveillance solutions. specifically, we seek projects that propose innovation in the following areas:

  • data sources: pilot tests of new sources of data, particularly those that would bring together different research communities from different disciplines for new perspectives on the problem
  • analytical methods: pilot tests of bioinformatics approaches, including new ways to analyze, combine or connect existing databases
  • biomarkers: pilot tests of new biomarkers or combinations of biomarkers that could lead to new understanding of the actionable implications of antimicrobial resistance surveillance data
  • low-cost technologies and products: exploratory work in developing new technologies and products, including 1) those that specifically target improved infection prevention and control in healthcare settings to reduce reliance on healthcare provider behavior change, and 2) technologies to remove antibiotics from effluents
