International Society for Infectious
Diseases (ISID) is to enhance research, prevention, and treatment of
infectious diseases, particularly in low resource countries. The
Society's programs emphasize the transfer of information and appropriate
technology through training and education of health care professionals.
These programs include conferences, workshops, training grants, and
fellowships.
ISID is committed to improving
the care of patients with infectious diseases, the training of
clinicians and researchers in infectious diseases and microbiology, and
the control of infectious diseases around the world.
ISID Small Grants
The Small Grants Program is designed to fund pilot research projects by
young investigators living and working in developing countries. The goal is to support and
foster the professional development of young individuals (less than 40 years of age) in the field of
human infectious diseases research by helping them to acquire additional skills
and data to apply for other grants. Areas of interest include, but are not
limited to investigations of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis or
treatment of infectious diseases, the epidemiology and control of
hospital-acquired infections, and modeling of cost effective interventions.
Up to eight grants of up to US $6,000 each will be awarded annually.
ISID Scientific Exchange Fellowships
The ISID Scientific Exchange Fellowship Program was established in 1992 to
promote collaboration among researchers in different countries by enabling
infectious disease researchers in the formative stage of their career to
extend their research experience in institutions outside of their region.
These awards are not restricted to physicians and are intended to support
young scientists from developing countries in updating their knowledge of
new, relevant laboratory techniques or in learning specific skills and
techniques.
Up to two fellowships will be awarded each year
SSI/ISID Fellowships
The purpose of this Fellowship Program is to support infectious disease
physicians and scientists from developing and middle income countries
through multidisciplinary clinical and laboratory training at select
biomedical institutions in Switzerland.A financial stipend of up to 36,000 SF per year (approximately $35,500 USD)
will be given to Fellows to cover travel costs and living expenses.
ISID/ESCMID Fellowships
The ISID and the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and
Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) are co-sponsoring the ISID/ESCMID
Fellowship Program to enable two Fellows per year to perform
multidisciplinary clinical and laboratory training abroad. This
particular fellowship is intended for applicants from outside Europe,
wishing to come to Europe for their fellowship.
Up to two fellowships will be awarded each year.
