Operating Grant : 5th Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance

Sponsor

The Institute of Infection and Immunity (III), the Institute of Health Services and Policy Research (IHSPR) and the Institute of Population and Public Health (IPPH) in collaboration with the Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) partners

Program

5th Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance (JPIAMR)

Description

In order to protect and prolong the usefulness of existing antimicrobials, increasing cross-sectoral efforts are needed to rationalize their use and misuse in human and animal health and food production settings. Key measures to achieve this are to improve existing and implement new evidence-based control, prevention, stewardship and intervention strategies to reduce the risk of acquisition, development and transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and infection caused by these pathogens, in hospitalized patients, outpatients, healthy people, animals and the environment.

Eligibility

Independent Researcher

Funding Availability

  • The total amount available for the Canadian component of successful projects is $3,000,000, enough to fund approximately three (3) to five (5) grants.
