RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – The Burroughs Wellcome Fund’s Board of Directors is pleased to announce the 2022 award recipients for the Investigators in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease program.
The PATH program is highly competitive and provides $500,000 over a period of five years. The awards are intended to give recipients the freedom and flexibility to pursue new avenues of inquiry, stimulating higher-risk research projects that hold potential for significantly advancing understanding of how infectious diseases work and how health is maintained.
