The Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF) Investigators in Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease Program provides funding for programs that study the pathogenesis of infectious disease at its most fundamental level, the points where human and microbial systems connect--how colonization, infection, commensalism and other relationships play out at levels ranging from molecular interactions to systemic. Proposals must be in the area of basic biomedical, disease oriented, translational, or molecular, genetic, or pharmacological epidemiology research. BWF is particularly interested in work focused on the host, as well as host-pathogen studies originating in viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasite systems. Awards are for $500,000 over five years for accomplished investigators still early in their careers.
