Wellcome Trust Scheme 'Impact of Vaccines on Antimicrobial Resistance, 2019
Proposal closing date: 6 Sep 2019
Who can apply
You can apply for this award if you’re a researcher who wants to better understand the impact of vaccines on the use of antibiotics and the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). You must propose to analyse AMR data related to vaccine use that can be used by vaccine decision-makers.
The awards are open to individuals or teams of up to seven people from anywhere in the world.
You can apply if you’re based at:
- an academic research organisation
- a not-for-profit or government body
- a private sector organisation.
You must be able to accept our standard grant conditions. Teams may be based in the same or in different organisations.
Each applicant should have a permanent, open-ended or long-term rolling contract, or the guarantee of one. Your salary must be paid by your host organisation.
If you hold a permanent, open-ended or long-term rolling contract but have to get your salary from external grant funding, you can ask us for this in your application. This only applies if you're based in the UK or a low- or middle-income country. Your host organisation must confirm details about your employment contract.
Your programme must aim to analyse data on AMR or antibiotic use in the context of a human vaccine study.

We will assess:

- your plans for managing any risks related to the study.
