International Society for Infectious Diseases Small Grants
The ISID 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 in the
field of human infectious diseases research by helping them to acquire additional skills and data to apply for other
grants.

treatment of infectious diseases affecting humans, the epidemiology and control of hospital-acquired infections, and

Upon completion of the project, a written report of the project must be sent to the Society. The Society encourages
recipients of grants to present their results at scientific meetings and to submit them for publication in peer-reviewed
journals.
