To coincide with the UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on AMR, we are opening our 2024 Diagnostic Innovations funding round. As world leaders gather to discuss what we can do as nations working together to combat AMR, our focus is on supporting innovators with their early-stage projects to diagnose infection and ensure antimicrobials are prescribed appropriately. Key features of our call: ▪️ Tests should have the potential to reduce inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions, provide faster results to inform which antimicrobial should be used and/or catalyse the move to narrow-spectrum treatments ▪️Up to £5M available to support 3 to 8 projects from innovators world-wide for up to two years. ▪️Awards are for projects in the early stages of development; up to £300K for technical feasibility and up to £1M for product development projects. ▪️We are prioritising projects that are developing diagnostic tests for urinary tract, respiratory or bloodstream infections ▪️Proposed solutions should aim to have the appropriate characteristics for the setting in which they are intended.
