ICARS and IDRC launch joint project on gender and antimicrobial resistance

Posted by Jaq-Lin Larder on March 7, 2022 in Research Funding

The goal of this request for proposals (RFP) is to commission a research project to explore the interconnections between antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and gender as well as interconnected socio-behavioural characteristics. The scope of this project should consider at minimum human health (including healthcare and community settings) and animal health, including food animal production, focusing primarily on small- and medium-scale farming.

Eligible institutions include universities or other research institutions and non-profit organizations based in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The lead organization must be based in sub-Saharan Africa, and partnerships with Southeast Asian institutions are preferred.

Canadian researchers can participate on projects as subject matter experts, and are eligible to receive a maximum of 10% of the grant funding.

The project has an available maximum budget of 190,000 CAD.

If interested in this opportunity, contact ird@dal.ca. More details on the full call can be found here.
