Beginning on 10 November 2026 at 10:00 ET, applicants can submit an Expression of Interest for the four funding themes. Return here on 10 November to submit your application in the CARB-X Portal.
For technical assistance logging into the CARB-X Portal, please email carbxptl@bu.edu.
Target Product Profiles and minimal entry criteria for each theme can be found here. We highly encourage you to read our Frequently Asked Questions and informational slides.
Expressions of Interest (EOI) for both themes may be submitted from 10 November 2026 at 10:00 ET to 23 November 2026 at 23:59 ET.
In the EOI, you will be asked to answer a series of questions about your proposed project and will be given the opportunity to share pertinent, non-confidential details, in free text. Your application will be judged on the merits of its scientific content; describe your science with as much data as possible. Please do provide sufficient data to allow a knowledgeable scientist to get a reasonable sense of the therapeutic/preventative/diagnostic. Do not provide other manuscripts, references, citations or similar. Note that the form can only accept text; you may not enter tables or graphics. Do not include foundational information regarding the significance of antibiotic resistance; this is not necessary, as the reviewers understand this.
