Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria(CARB) Interdisciplinary Research Units (U19)

The purpose of this grant is to solicit applications to establish multidisciplinary research programs focused on improving our understanding of bacterial and host factors important for drug resistance and infection by bacterial pathogens for which antibiotic resistance is a known public health concern to inform new ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat antibacterial-resistant infections.

Each CARB Unit (CARBIRU) is expected to bring together investigators from different disciplines in a cohesive and synergistic team to design and execute research addressing fundamental knowledge gaps that hinder development of effective treatment and prevention strategies.
