International Pathogen Surveillance Network Announces First Recipients of Grants to Better Understand Disease Threats
The World Health Organization (WHO) and partners announced 10 projects that will receive almost US$ 2 million in grants to improve capacities in pathogen genomic surveillance.
The catalytic grant fund was established by the International Pathogen Surveillance Network (IPSN) to support partners from low- and middle-income countries to build their capacities in pathogen genomic analysis. This technology analyses the genetic code of viruses, bacteria and other disease-causing organisms to understand, in conjunction with other data, how easily they spread, and how sick they can make people.
DEADLINE: Applications accepted on a rolling basis, next round of review March 8 and September 8, 2025.
