The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency — making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.
The Centers for Research in Emerging Infectious Diseases (CREID) Network grant program aims to enhance understanding of re-emerging and emerging infectious diseases globally, particularly in regions prone to outbreaks. It focuses on building expertise, capacity, and readiness for outbreak-related research through a One Health approach, emphasizing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. This program encourages collaborative, multi- and interdisciplinary research efforts within the CREID Network, fostering coordinated actions among domestic and international investigators to address critical questions in infectious disease emergence and response.
