Funding Opportunity: Healthcare-Associated Infections and Antibiotic Resistance

AHRQ is seeking innovative research proposals for preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAI) and combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria (CARB).

Funding applications are due Sept. 25 for demonstration and dissemination projects (R18 grants), and on Oct. 5 for large research projects (R01 grants).

HAI projects in both grant categories should demonstrate new ways to detect, prevent, and reduce HAIs. CARB projects should address ways to promote appropriate antibiotic use, reduce the transmission of resistant bacteria, or prevent HAIs.

For more information, select "Research Funding Available" at the top of the yellow box on AHRQ's Healthcare-Associated Infections Program page.
