Through
this program, one-year grants will be awarded for research on Lyme and other
tick-borne diseases. Research priorities identified by GLA
include:
·
Lyme
disease — Priority will be given to proposals focused on Lyme disease, host
immunology/immune dysregulation (with an emphasis on pathogenesis),
post-treatment Lyme disease, direct diagnostics, and improved treatment.
Molecular biology and bioinformatics-oriented proposals also will be
considered. Proposals focused on improved treatment based on novel
antimicrobials and drug combinations are encouraged.
·
Babesiosis — Priority will be
given to proposals that address critical needs in diagnostics, treatment,
pathogenesis, and strain differences. Proposals exploring the basis for the
emergence of antibiotic resistance will be considered.
Eligible
candidates include scientists and clinicians from accredited degree-granting
academic or not-for-profit institutions. Applicants typically have MD and/or
PhD degrees, although other certifications of higher learning will also be
considered.
