Deadline: 9-Mar-22
The International Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance Solutions (ICARS) and IDRC has launched a Joint Project on Gender and Antimicrobial Resistancec to explore the interconnections between antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and gender as well as interconnected socio-behavioural characteristics.
The scope of this project should consider at minimum human health (including healthcare and community settings) and animal health, including food animal production, focusing primarily on small- and medium-scale farming.
The organization whose proposal is successful will be commissioned for a year-long project to:
- synthesize current evidence and identify priority linkages related to gender and AMR research
- develop guidance on how to strengthen the gender inclusiveness of AMR intervention and implementation research projects in LMICs, with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa and, ideally, Southeast Asia.
Objectives
The project must achieve the below objectives:
- Identify and prioritize the interconnections between gender and both human and animal health, which have the most potential to impact successful AMR research projects (i.e. innovation, interventions and implementation) and the goal of gender equality.
- Provide clear guidance on how to strengthen a gender lens within AMR innovation and implementation research projects in LMICs.
Funding Information
- Amount: Up to CAD190,000
- Duration: 12 months
- This project has a maximum budget available of $150,000 USD. Of this amount, $100,000 USD is available to the lead institution in sub-Saharan Africa and an additional $50,000 USD will be made available for partners based elsewhere, with a strong preference for south-east Asia.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligible institutions include universities or other research institutions and non-profit organizations based in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The lead organization must be based in sub-Saharan Africa, and partnerships with Southeast Asian institutions are preferred.
