UK-US partnerships: ecology and evolution of infectious diseases

Closing date: 15 November 2023

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and Defra invite you to work in partnership with the US to understand ecological, evolutionary, and social drivers that influence the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases of animals, humans and plants.

You:

  • must be from a UK-based research organisation eligible for UKRI funding
  • must bring together a multidisciplinary team
  • must collaborate with a US partner
  • can also collaborate with partners from China and Israel or both

We are particularly interested in:

  • plant health
  • avian influenza
  • mycology
  • anti-fungal and anthelmintic resistance
  • resistance evolution

We will fund 80% of the full economic cost of the UK component for up to four years.
