This grant is for strengthening hospital infection control and combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) across India. The Government of India has prioritized addressing AMR, recognizing hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and their significant impact. The All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS), guided by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), leads India’s standardized HAI surveillance network. This initiative enables AIIMS, in collaboration with CDC and ICMR, to implement a scalable approach for accurate HAI and AMR data generation and reporting. Initial efforts will focus on surveillance, improving antimicrobial use, and targeting infection prevention and control (IPC) activities. The grant aims to develop a trained workforce, standardize surveillance, and bolster IPC programs, ultimately establishing a sustainable AMR and HAI surveillance network that informs evidence-based national policies.

| Description: | Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global patient safety and public health concern. Hospital acquired infections (HAI) lead to adverse outcomes and increased cost of treatment. Effective infection prevention and control (IPC) interventions can reduce HAIs. The Government of India has prioritized combating AMR. The All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) at the direction of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) is directing the only standardized HAI surveillance network in India with 32 nodal centers in 22 states. Through this NOFO, AIIMS will work with CDC and ICMR to implement a step-wise, scalable approach to generate and report accurate HAI and AMR data. In the first year, sites will perform HAI surveillance, improve antimicrobial use and use data to target IPC activities. Short-term outcomes include develop a trained workforce; ensure standardization of surveillance; and strengthen IPC programs. The long-term objective is a sustainable AMR and HAI surveillance network that produces quality data to inform the development and implementation of evidence-based national policies on IPC, antimicrobial stewardship and HAI prevention.
