Projects Supporting Operational Research on Resistance
The rise in antimicrobial resistance poses a serious threat to efforts to combat HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria. This call (24-2025-INIT-RO-APR-03) invites proposals seeking initial funding from L’Initiative (new projects) to support innovative operational research for improving the prevention, diagnosis, and effective management of resistance.
L’Initiative will place priority on measures that emphasize and advance:
- enhanced resistance surveillance;
- resistance modeling and the creation of scenario projections;
- close collaboration among all involved parties (partners, researchers, managers, program staff, health services, civil society, and local communities);
- breaking down silos in research projects.
For detailed information on this call for proposals and eligibility criteria, please refer to the guidelines:
New in 2025: Two Funding Streams for Calls for Proposals
Each year, L’Initiative issues calls for proposals to fund catalytic projects that aim to drive advancements in health practices and policies and facilitate the scaling up of innovative solutions. This year, five calls are open, divided into two distinct tracks:
- “New Projects,” comprising three calls for proposals;
- “Next Phase Projects,” comprising two calls for proposals.
Two online information sessions will be held (each simultaneously interpreted in French and English) to guide applicants in submitting their proposals online:
- December 2, 2024, at 10:00 (UTC+1)
- January 7, 2025, at 10:00 (UTC+1)
During these 1.5-hour sessions, L’Initiative will present the project call application platform, as well as the submission criteria and procedures. As the number of places is limited, please register as soon as possible.
