Description: |
Support basic science, translational and clinical research through a competitive grants program that advances medical knowledge in the pathogenesis, treatment and prevention of infections. To be eligible for a young investigator award, applicants must a.have a professional degree (MD, PhD, PharmD or equivalent) and be no more than 5 years post-terminal training.
Within the specified patient populations with infection types of interest, investigators are expected to: ?Generate exploratory clinical data in patients receiving linezolid to better understand disease pathogenesis, risk factors, host response and treatment outcomes; Be able to complete the research in 12 months; Present and/or publish the results of the study. MRSA Clinical Research in Specific Patient Populations and Infection Types
Although considerable clinical trial data exists for linezolid, knowledge gaps remain in various patient populations noted below. It is hoped the resulting data will lead to a better understanding of the safety and efficacy of linezolid to enhance the clinical care of patients with bacterial infections. Proposals should be clinical in design which may be limited to small exploratory studies and may include laboratory evaluations that attempt to test hypotheses or evaluations of impact on healthcare resource utilization. Prospective evaluations are preferred however, well-designed retrospective analyses may also be considered for inclusion into the overall proposal to generate and test hypotheses. |
