Stanford’s newly established Gates Center for Human Systems Immunology is soliciting applications from Stanford faculty, senior postdoctoral scholars, clinical fellows, research associates and instructors for pilot projects aiming to advance research on HIV; tuberculosis; malaria; neglected infectious diseases, such as Dengue; and pathogens that cause pneumonia or enteric diseases in the developing world.
Funding for successful applications will be supplied by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to curing and preventing global infectious diseases. The amount of funding available for faculty-directed projects is $50,000-$200,000 over a two-year period, with a possibility of further support for a third year; as much as $50,000 over two years is available for senior postdoctoral fellows, clinical fellows, research associates and instructors.
