Global Antimicrobial Resistance Innovation Fund (GAMRIF) - UK-China: Innovation and Collaboration to Tackle Antimicrobial Resistance
Project disclaimer
Description
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded UKaid project from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)’s Global Antimicrobial Resistance Innovation Fund (GAMRIF). GAMRIF funds research and development to fight antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where the burden of drug-resistant infection is greater. The UK-China research competition supports new innovations to address AMR in both humans and animals, which both constitute a significant threat to human health. Successful projects are a partnership between UK companies / research organisations and Chinese companies /research organisations, with outputs benefitting people in other LMICs. Partnerships will support novel research projects to develop the use of cutting-edge solutions to tackle the critical issues of AMR in humans and animals. This includes solutions that will: (1) Explore opportunities for the treatment and/or prevention of infectious diseases in humans and animals; (2) Advance the discovery of new agents, including small molecule drugs, vaccines, antibodies and other biological products; (3) Identify new agents that increase feed energy conversion in livestock without using antibiotics or hormones; (4) Use modelling and clinical studies to maximise the clinical utility of current antibiotics; and (5) Improve diagnostic capabilities for the diagnosis, treatment selection and surveillance of bacterial infections and antibacterial resistance. This project was not put out to an open, competitive tender process because, as a non-departmental public body of the UK government, Innovate UK is uniquely positioned to manage research calls.
