Apply for an Invasive Fungal Disease Fellowship
The Gilead UK & Ireland Fellowship Programme started in 2009. The aim of the Programme is to support local
innovation and best practice in patient care in HIV, viral hepatitis, oncology/haematology, respiratory and invasive
fungal disease. The Programme invites applications from healthcare or allied professionals who are seeking funding
for a project that aligns with the goals of the Gilead UK & Ireland Fellowship Programme.
Applicants are required to demonstrate how their innovative, high-impact project meets the specified, measurable
criteria in order to be awarded funding. Successful applicants are expected to communicate progress of their
project, and to present their findings at the end of the funding period.
Since its inception, the Gilead UK & Ireland Fellowship Programme has supported over 150 projects in the areas
of HIV, viral hepatitis, respiratory and invasive fungal disease. Since 2009 this has left an important legacy
within the research areas funded.
The Gilead UK and Ireland Fellowship Programme awards financial grants to individual organisations or groups of
healthcare providers within a locality, such as, but not limited to, hospital trusts, Charities involved in public
health or health provision, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs not applicable in ROI), Health Boards and Health
Offices responsible for providing, planning or commissioning clinical services in groups for specific therapy area
topics.
The Fellowship Programme does not support projects that meet the EUDRACT criteria of an interventional or
non-interventional study. If you are seeking support for a study, please contact your local Gilead Medical
Scientist. Gilead UK & Ireland Corporate Contributions does not support projects which meet these criteria.
Apply for an Invasive Fungal Disease Fellowship/ Medical Grants Programme
We are inviting applications for audit or registry projects to assess the following: Haematology (Adults & Paediatrics):
Epidemiology and incidence of mould resistance and clinical tolerance
Breakthrough infections in haematology patients in receipt of mould-active prophylaxis
Impact of antifungal drug-drug interactions with new and existing chemotherapeutics, immunotherapies and novel biologics
Critical Care (Adults & Paediatrics):
Duration of first, second  and subsequent lines of antifungal use and triggers and barriers to changes in therapy
Complexities and challenges associated with the utility of fungal diagnostics in intensive care units including awareness and education
Novel risk factors contributing to the development of invasive fungal infections in the ICU department
Risk and impact of respiratory viruses on the development of invasive fungal disease(s)
Risk and impact of use of prolonged and/or high doses of corticosteroids on the development of invasive fungal disease(s)
The incidence/incidence rate of invasive fungal disease in new and expanding patient populations
Ideally, all of the above criteria should be looked at in association with patient outcomes.
Projects which fall outside of this scope but which will add clinical value or which investigate an area of unmet need within mycology can also be submitted and will be reviewed for their merit.
