ISF-Azrieli-CIHR-IDRC: Joint Canada-Israel Research on biomedical sciences with special emphasis on the intersection between non-communicable chronic disease (NCD) and infectious diseases

Registration required by 2.3, 13:00. Submission deadline is 4.4

Potential topics may include but are not limited to the following:

• Analysis of epidemiological and clinical data
• Study of mechanisms driving the interactions between non-communicable chronic and infectious diseases.
• Systems biology approaches to gain insight into molecular mechanisms underlying the reciprocal impacts of infectious diseases and agents on NCDs;
• Identification of biomarkers and/or predictive factors of NCDs following infections or infection severity with pre-existing NCDs;
• Translational approaches aimed at disrupting and preventing NCDs caused/accelerated by infectious diseases and/or mitigating the severity of infectious disease in people with NCDs.
• Interactions between non-communicable chronic diseases

Funding: NIS 1.3 million over 4 years for the Israeli side. Up to 6 proposals will be approved.
