Global Antimicrobial Resistance Innovation Fund (GAMRIF) - Nurturing breakthrough technologies to solve the global grand challenges of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in the Environment
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded UKaid programme from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) delivered in partnership with the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP) to nurture promising technologies that can solve the global challenges of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the environment. A national and international call for applications (‘AMR Challenge’) will identify innovative solutions addressing prioritised AMR challenges in the environment for the benefit of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The Challenge will be specific for AMR in the environment with impact across the One Health* domains of human, animal and the environment. The India AMR Innovation Hub’s large stakeholder network may be leveraged to advance Challenge-funded innovations. Projects funded through the Global AMR Innovation Fund (GAMRIF) primarily benefit people in LMICs, where the burden of drug-resistant infection is greater. (*One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimise the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognises that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and interdependent.)
Global Antimicrobial Resistance Innovation Fund (GAMRIF) - InnoVet AMR: Innovative Veterinary Solutions for AMR with IDRC
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
InnoVet-AMR is a partnership between DHSC and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) aimed at reducing the emerging risk that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animals poses to global health and food security. InnoVet-AMR will fund research to develop new animal vaccines and other innovations to fight AMR in livestock (swine and poultry) and aquaculture production, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Through InnoVet-AMR, IDRC and DHSC aim to achieve two main objectives: (1) support research that will identify innovative veterinary solutions, including vaccines and alternative solutions, to reduce the use of antimicrobials in livestock and aquaculture operations in LMICs; (2) build effective partnerships to better coordinate discovery, development and sustainable delivery of affordable innovative veterinary solutions to reduce the use of antimicrobials in livestock and aquaculture operations in LMICs. Projects funded through the Global AMR Innovation Fund (GAMRIF) will primarily benefit people in LMICs, where the burden of drug-resistant infection is greater.
Global Antimicrobial Resistance Innovation Fund (GAMRIF) - UK-Argentina: tools to tackle AMR in the Environment
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
This is a bilateral partnership with Argentina to support research to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in agriculture and the impact on the environment. Successful projects are a partnership of UK companies and research orgnisations, with Argentinian companies and research organisations. The competition and partnership will be delivered in the UK by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) in partnership with the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), both part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), and delivered and matched-funded, on a resource basis, by the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) in Argentina. The aim of this partnership is to generate new knowledge and provide a deeper evidence base that can help to reduce the impact of drivers of AMR in the environment from agricultural sources as they apply to Argentina and low- and middle- income countries (LMICs). This includes research towards the development of theroretical frameworks for surveillance and reporting on AMR and antibiotics, and research towards the development of strategies for manure, slurry and waste management. Projects are also required to produce outputs that translate research into policy, such as policy briefings or best practice position papers for LMICs. Projects funded through the Global AMR Innovation Fund (GAMRIF) will primarily benefit people in LMICs, where the burden of drug-resistant infection is greater.
