IDSA ERF/NFID Joint Research Awards – ASP-IDSA Young Investigator Award in Geriatrics

Program Description

The IDSA Education and Research Foundation and the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases have joined forces to offer awards to support needed research by promising young researchers who may not otherwise find funding as federal and other institutional research support becomes more difficult to obtain. Sponsored by The Atlantic Philanthropies (USA) Inc. and the John A. Hartford Foundation, this award provides funding for young investigators who develop and implement a basic, clinical, or health services research project focused on a geriatric aspect of infectious diseases. Applicants must have applied for the GEMSSTAR award and received a fundable score as defined by the National Institutes of Health. The award is administered by IDSA and the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine (AAIM)/Association of Specialty Professors (ASP). (1) Two-year award of $200,000 ($150,000 research grant from National Institute of Aging and $50,000 career/professional development award from IDSA/AAIM/ASP)
