NIAID is conducting and supporting research to find better ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent tickborne diseases as well as ways to control the tick populations that transmit microbes.

Through the information offered here, researchers can learn about the science being conducted at NIAID and by NIAID-funded researchers. Researchers seeking funding can access opportunities to further their own research, while NIAID and NIH grantees can find out about available resources outside of specific funding opportunities. Recent publications, active networks, and ways to connect with other researchers are also available.
