Funding and Participation Guidelines for NDPIA

Starting in 2025, NDPIA is funded through a new grant from the Swedish Research Council (VR). In this call, VR supported two research schools, with funding equally divided between the National Doctoral Programme in Infections and Antimicrobials (NDPIA) and the National Doctoral Programme in Virus Infections and Pandemics (NDP-VIP).

Both organizations are excited about the opportunity to run two complementary programs in infection biology and expect positive synergies. However, because NDPIA’s budget is smaller than in previous years, some adjustments are necessary. The following participation guidelines apply until further notice.

Participation Guidelines for Full Members

• NDPIA-organized courses and activities are free of charge for full members.
• Accommodation is covered when the activity takes place at a university other than the participant’s home university.
• Travel costs must be covered by the participant’s principal investigator (PI), university, or institute.

Participation Guidelines for Associate Members

• Associate members not enrolled at a Swedish university or institute may participate in NDPIA-organized activities free of charge.
• Accommodation and travel costs must be covered by the participant’s principal investigator (PI), university, or institute.

Co-funding for external courses and activities

• Currently, NDPIA does not provide co-funding for courses or activities hosted by other organizations/institutes or held outside of Sweden.
