This second call for proposals under phase II is directed toward proposals in the field of communicable diseases, with a particular focus on investigating underlying biological mechanisms and impacts on global health. Potential topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:?
Discovery research to identify new pathogens and their distribution in human populations?
New therapeutic approaches for communicable diseases?
Drug resistance biology and mechanism in infectious disease?
Host-parasite interactions?
New directions in vaccine research for infectious diseases?
New biomarkers for infectious disease detection, characterization and monitoring?
Vector-borne and zoonotic diseases, including the impact of climate change on zoonotic disease distribution?
New technology platforms for rapid detection of pathogens of pandemic importance?
Exclusions: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 research, studies, surveys, clinical trials and work primarily aimed at informing public health policy are NOT eligible for funding through this opportunity. However, the use of randomization in basic biomedical research studies is accepted.?

Phase II of the Joint Canada-Israel Health Research Program seeks to support fundamental research at the cutting-edge of biomedical science and global health.
Proposals must be co-led by three independent investigators:
one from Canada, one from Israel and one from a low- or middle-income country.
Teams are required to establish knowledge mobilization plans.
This could include a range of activities that support research, training and exchange, while taking advantage of this funding opportunity to design a collaborative international research project.
