Rosetrees Trust: Interdisciplinary Award- Interactions between the human host and infectious pathogens

Please note: Each institute can submit Only 1 proposal. At the Technion, the office of the Executive Vice President for Research (MANLAM) conducts internal scientific reviews of pre-proposals

RA Deadline:  15.3. one page submission (send to ra-tec@trdf.technion.ac.il).

Rosetrees deadline: 28.4

Aim: to fund research that will study the complex interactions between the human host and infectious agents, ranging from the microbiome to pathogens that includes viruses, bacteria and fungi. 

Particular areas of interest are:

How do these interactions result in harmful, acute and chronic effects on organs such as the skin, the gut and the brain?

How do these interactions affect susceptibility or resistance to infection, and the evolution of anti-microbial resistance?

Proposals should include a clear translational strategy to show how their novel research could benefit patients within 5-10 years.

Funding: £300,000 over 3 years (No overhead)
