The fellowship aims to support the next generation of infectious diseases leaders in hospital epidemiology and antimicrobial stewardship. It includes four grants of $100,000, which will be given to infectious disease fellows or early-career clinical infectious disease physicians.

The funds will help fellowship awardees foster collaborative endeavors between academic institutions and local public health departments. The awardees will also receive hands-on experience with public health departments.

The application closes March 5, and awardees will be announced April 9.
