Harvard Pre-Proposal Deadline: Burroughs Wellcome Investigators in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease
Date and Time
Burroughs Wellcome Investigators in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease Award
Harvard Pre-Proposal Deadline: April 1, 2014
Award Amount:$500,000 over five years
Target Disciplines: Infectious Disease
The Burroughs Wellcome Investigators in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease Award provides opportunities for assistant professors to bring multidisciplinary approaches to the study of human infectious diseases. The goal of the program is to provide opportunities for accomplished investigators still early in their careers to study the pathogenesis of infectious disease at its most fundamental level - the points where human and microbial systems connect. The program supports research that sheds light on the fundamentals that affect the outcomes of this encounter: how colonization, infection, commensalism and other relationships play out at levels ranging from molecular interactions to systemic ones.
