International Society for Infectious Diseases Small Grants Program

The Small Grants Program is designed to fund pilot research projects by young investigators in developing 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.

Proposals will be reviewed by members of the Professional Development Working Group and decisions made in collaboration with the President and the Program Director.

Upon completion of the project, a written report of the project must be sent to the Society. The Society encourages recipients of grants to present their results at scientific meetings and to submit them for publication in peer-reviewed journals.

Deadlines
Up to five grants of up to US $6,000 each will be awarded annually. Deadlines for submission of proposals are April 1 (notification after June 1) and October 1 (notification after December 1).

Requests for application materials and additional information should be directed to:

Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates Research Grants

The deadline for submission is February 15, July 15 and October 15.

The SGNA Research Committee was formed to encourage research in the field of gastroenterology. Research is a way of addressing ideas and questions that arise in the course of daily practice. The results might convince you to make changes in your practice, and could also benefit others. Research may be done individually or as a collaborative effort. Grant applications are reviewed by the SGNA Research Committee for appropriateness, compliance with criteria and research suggestions by experts. Grants which meet the reqiurements are presented to the SGNA Board of Directors for funding approval.

There are many problems in GI and solutions are needed for the well being and safety of our patients. Research offers solutions. Nurses, from all practice settings, identify questions for study and apply for funding. Research grants are funded according to the scope and budget of the project presented.

Grants are awarded through the existing process for SGNA research grants. Applications for the grants should be submitted to SGNA, using SGNA research grant applications – deadlines are February 15, July 15, and October 15 of each year.

SGNA Research Priorities include, but are not limited to:

Conscious Sedation
Expanded Role of the GI Practitioner
Infection Control
Safety
Patient Education
Nursing intervention related to GI disease processes
