The Institut Mérieux has been committed for many years in the fight against Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and improvement of antibiotic stewardship.
The Institut Mérieux has been committed for many years in the fight against Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and improvement of antibiotic stewardship. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health issue worldwide and this aligns with the mandate of NIMR to conduct research into health problems in Nigeria with a focus on Communicable Diseases of Public Health importance in the country.
The Institute Merieux in partnership with the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research will provide an incentive for promising young investigators working in the field of AMR in Nigeria by financing research based on the provision of grants and awards to enable high value-added research projects to be conducted.
The focus is on researchers or clinicians at the beginning of their career in recognition of a major achievement having significant impact on the handling of AMR and more globally on infectious disease diagnostics.
 Institut Mérieux and Nigerian Institute of Medical Research have decided to allocate in 2021 a joint Young Investigator Award of 10,000 €, that will be given to the laureate during NIMR Annual Scientific Conference.
