International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID) is working for world
infectious disease issues. They are dedicated to enhance research,
prevention, and treatment of infectious diseases, particularly in low
resource countries. The Society's programs emphasize the transfer of
information and appropriate technology through training and education of
health care professionals. These programs include conferences, workshops,
training grants, and fellowships. The ISID is helping various scientist
and researchers through the support of small grant and fellowship. The
grant support and fellowship details are as below:
ISID Grant: The Small Grants
Program is framed to fund small pilot research projects by young
investigators in least developed countries. The goal is to support
and foster the professional development of young individuals in the field
of infectious diseases research by helping them to acquire additional
skills and data to apply for other grants. Areas of interest include,
but are not limited to investigations of the epidemiology,
pathophysiology, diagnosis or treatment of infectious diseases, the
epidemiology and control of hospital-acquired infections, and modeling of
cost effective interventions.The society can give up to five grants of up
to US $6,000 each. Deadlines for submission of proposals is October 1.

ISID Fellowship:
ISID and the Swiss Society for Infectious Diseases (SSI)
jointly sponsor the SSI/ISID Infectious Diseases Research Fellowship
Program. The purpose of this Fellowship Program is to support infectious
disease physicians and scientists from developing and middle income
countries through multidisciplinary clinical and laboratory training at
select biomedical institutions in Switzerland. The objectives of the
Fellowship Program are: * to train promising young physicians and
scientists from developing and middle income countries for
clinical and research positions in infectious diseases,
* to foster partnerships between Fellows and infectious disease leaders
in Switzerland, and * to increase scientific research capacity in low
income/high disease burden countries. Opportunities for training and
research in a variety of areas ranging from basic studies of the mechanism
of disease to studies in public health, epidemiology, diagnostics,
therapeutics or vaccine development, are available through this program.
The term of the Fellowship is for one year. The start date of the will be
determined by arrangement between the host institution and the Fellow.

enabling infectious disease researchers in the formative stage of their career
to extend their research experience in institutions outside of their region.
These awards are not restricted to physicians and are intended to support
young scientists from developing countries in updating their knowledge of
new, relevant laboratory techniques or in learning specific skills and
techniques.Proposals that enhance the transfer of technologies to
geographical areas where they are particularly needed will be favored.
Applicants are to be investigators (younger than 40 years) already working
in a research area,but w ho have not had the opportunity to work or to
study outside their countries or region.Proposals will be reviewed by
members of the Professional Development Working Group and decisions
made in collaboration with the President and the Program Director.
Funding will be provided for up to 3 months and up to
