ICARS and IDRC launch joint project on gender and antimicrobial resistance
The goal of this request for proposals (RFP) is to commission a research project 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.
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.
Additional information, along with the full RFP document and instructions for submitting a proposal, can be found on the ICARS website.
This RFP was informed by a series of roundtable discussions with AMR and gender experts to identify priority research areas relating to gender and the prevention and containment of AMR in humans, animals and the environment.
