This National Institutes of Health grant is designed to support high-risk, milestone-driven research dedicated to advancing our understanding of difficult-to-culture human eukaryotic pathogens. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the development of robust culture techniques and sophisticated genetic and molecular tools. These innovations are crucial for unraveling the complex biology of select pathogens, including Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Pneumocystis jirovecii, Plasmodium vivax, and Babesia microti. The funding utilizes a unique biphasic award mechanism, where continued support into the second phase is contingent upon the successful achievement of specific research milestones, ensuring impactful progress in this vital area of pathogen research.
