Sexually Transmitted Infections Information for Researchers

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are an important global health priority because of their devastating impact on women and infants and their inter-relationships with HIV/AIDS biologically and epidemiologically. The ultimate objective of NIAID-supported research is to develop effective prevention and treatment approaches to control STIs.

Funding Opportunities

NIAID is always accepting researcher-initiated applications. Connect with NIAID program officers about potential funding for STI research.

Program Officers

Program Officers for STIs can be found in the Enteric and Sexually Transmitted Infections Branch (ESTIB) of the Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID). For information on HSV basic research, see DMID's Virology Branch (VB).
