The Evidence Fund - 300708
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
The Evidence Fund procures and manages research and evaluations that primarily benefit ODA eligible countries. Most research and evaluations paid for by the Evidence Fund are country-specific, and all respond to requests for evidence to inform programme or policy decisions. Primarily serving research requests from HMG’s Embassies and High Commissions in ODA eligible countries, and from HMG policy and strategy teams, the Evidence Fund strengthens the evidence behind the UK’s priority international development investments and development diplomacy. The Evidence Fund also invests modest amounts of non-ODA, to strengthen the evidence behind wider UK foreign policy.

Global Antimicrobial Resistance Innovation Fund (GAMRIF) - Accelerating Antibacterial Innovation with CARB-X
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
Through the Global AMR Innovation Fund (GAMRIF), the UK Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has invested £20 million over three years in Boston University’s Combating Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Accelerator (CARB-X), which is a non-profit, multi-donor international partnership that supports innovative early product research and development focused on the most dangerous drug-resistant bacteria. This contribution will invest in high-value, innovative research to accelerate the development of products to reduce the harm from drug-resistant infections. The aim of this project is to invest in high-value, innovative research to accelerate the development of products up to and including Phase I to reduce the harm to human health, welfare and economic growth from drug-resistant infections. In particular, the programme will focus on prevention (including vaccines) and alternatives to antibiotics for humans as primarily and directly relevant to people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Projects funded through GAMRIF will primarily benefit people in LMICs, where the burden of drug-resistant infection is greater.
Global Antimicrobial Resistance Innovation Fund (GAMRIF) - Vaccine Innovation with BactiVac
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
Vaccine Innovation with BactiVac is a partnership between the UK government and the Bacterial Vaccinology Network (BactiVac) to support the development of vaccines for AMR in humans and animals. The UK government has invested up to £1 million over one year into BactiVac, which is one of 5 networks that are supported by the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) Networks in Vaccines Research & Development. This is co-funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). The primary aim of this investment is to support new, diverse research projects to gain preliminary data and encourage establishment of new research partnerships, and allow these collaborations to build a track record, which will allow them to attain further funding. It is expected that some of these projects will fail, yet the dissemination of both positive and negative research outcomes is valuable and expected. Funded projects will undertake early stage research and development with catalyst pump-priming funding around the world to help drive the development and uptake of vaccines for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) for the benefit of people in low- and middle-income countries (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 - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
Global Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Innovation Fund Programme
Global Antimicrobial Resistance Innovation Fund (GAMRIF) - Innovation in AMR Diagnostic Tools with FIND
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
FIND is a global non-profit product development partnership that aims to develop, evaluate and deliver high-quality affordable diagnostic tests for poverty-related diseases. UK Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) funding through the Global AMR Innovation Fund (GAMRIF) will support FIND’s work to enhance the impact of diagnostic tools for antimicrobial resistance (AMR), to support improved AMR surveillance and antibiotic stewardship. This work has two areas of focus: 1) to develop technological methods to connect data from patient testing and health provider consultations to larger data systems, such as national and international AMR surveillance programmes. This will lead to improved antibiotic use and AMR surveillance through increased access of data; and 2) to develop a new diagnostic technologies for drug-resistant gonorrhea, which will enable improved diagnosis and therefore use of new antibiotics. Projects funded through GAMRIF will primarily benefit people in low- and middle-income countries, where the burden of drug-resistant infection is greater.
